Commissions

I am a theatre practitioner, writer, and visual artist specialising in mask-work and puppetry. I make masks and puppets and am currently touring my comic-half-mask play for families "OOK! And the Terrible Thing that Happened". I have extensive experience of working with children and young people on theatre and art based workshops and projects.

Karen Goonewardene is a fine artist working from her studio in the beautiful village of Blewbury, South Oxfordshire. Karen specialises in ceramic sculpture, as well as exploring painting and drawing in many different media.

I paint in acrylics exploring human form and the ideal in abstract forms. My photography is experimental, photographing what I like... when I like.

Rose has lived in Oxford for the past thirty years. She has been involved in ceramics since 1998 latterly studying at Buckinghamshire New University 2002-2008 under International Ceramic Artist, Neil Brownsword R.C.A. and Master Potter, Kevin Millward where she graduated with a 1st class B.A. and a residency invitation to the International Ceramics Research Centre, Denmark.

I studied Public art and design at Chelsea school of art and chose to specialise in the art of mosaic making. Since gaining my degree I have taught at the London institute and held my own weekly class in mosaic for over 12 years. As well as undertaking various private commissions I have led several community and public art projects, ranging from the mosaic nameplate of the V&A museum of childhood in London to working in various local schools and community groups.

Mark Alger specialises in Outdoor (architecture/man-made subjects) and Landscape Photography, although he has also undertaken commissions for product work, most recently for food imagery.

Mark looks to create images that will encourage an emotional response, trying to evoke a feeling of time and place and continuing to do so with a real sense of personal exploration. Whilst not averse to portraying the classic vista or broader view he will often seek the intimate aspects of a composition, attempting to ask questions through his image making.

I am a visual artist, currently working on a series of charcoal drawings of historical women artists. I also paint portraits in oils. I have been involved in many of the murals around East Oxford and elsewhere, and take on private mural commissions. For further details please see my website www.vickicooke.com
