ABOUT THE ARTISTS
WENDY GOLDING
My hand tells me what I’m thinking’ Pablo Picasso.
This quote from Picasso sums up Wendy’s feelings perfectly as her work is intuitive and spontaneous.
Based in Gloucester, her work has been sold to buyers from all over the world.
Influenced by abstract expressionism, she primarily utilises acrylics, inks, and mixed media to create her pieces. Her practice is rooted in intuitive exploration of texture, movement, and layered mark-making, allowing each work to develop organically.
Throughout 2025 she has continued to develop her Kintsugi Series—drawing inspiration from the Japanese art of repairing ceramics with gold, which celebrates imperfection and the beauty found in transience. Additionally, her Contemplation Series continues to reflect on recollections of landscapes and seascapes, offering viewers opportunities for profound reflection and tranquillity
DEBORAH HARRISON
Deborah is an international award-winning professional contemporary sculptor who specialises in stone. Her passion for stone carving began in her middle years with a chance encounter at an arts festival.
Deborah works together with the stone’s shape, grain and colour until she reaches a kind of skin, and the piece takes on a life of its own. Deborah welcomes commissions.
Notable sculpture commissions include a memorial for Lord Montagu of Beaulieu and a coronation gift for King Charles III commissioned by the City Of Gloucester. Notable sales are Gloucestershire NHS Trust and to Sir Malcolm Evans, the ten-year Chair of the United Nations anti-torture subcommittee.
She is artist-in-residence at Gloucester City Works where she holds workshops and alabaster masterclasses, and at Gloucester Cathedral she also leads their carving courses. Deborah is a founder member of the Cotswold Sculptors Association. She carves indoor and outdoor pieces from a wide variety of stones.
BEVERLEY PERRY
Beverley Perry is an artist based in Gloucestershire and the Cotswolds and has been selling her work internationally for over 30 years.
Beverley's life’s mission is to bring joy, colour and personality into people’s homes. She creates stunning masterpieces that seamlessly blend a mix of contemporary style and subtle abstract features. Her work is unique and portrays her passion for colourful landscapes and the beauty that is nature, by using mixed media, paint and ink.
She likes to create her work by combining the use of photography, sketching and imagination to interpret nature and the landscapes around her.
Her latest more expressive work captures the mood and atmosphere of her surroundings, by using vibrant colour texture and light.
LUBA ARNOLD-LARNIE
Luba is an abstract landscape artist based in Gloucestershire, UK. Her work captures the essence of land and seascapes through the interplay of land, sky, and sea, inspired by walks in her local countryside and visits to Cornwall. Using acrylic, oils, and charcoal, her paintings focus on colour and texture, with palette knife marks adding a tactile quality.
Luba's approach blends memory, sketches, and photographs, resulting in spontaneous yet deliberate expressions of the moment.
A full-time artist for fifteen years, her award-winning work is exhibited internationally and represented by Spencer House Gallery in Tetbury
