RACHEL GIBSON
FINE ART

Rachel Gibson’s paintings reflect her intuitive involvement with concepts that surround the idea of ‘place’ and the importance it has in folk memory and prehistory. She is interested in experimenting with a wide range of drawing, printmaking and painting media, often combining techniques together to create imagery which is both subtle and mysterious.
Rachel is a member of the Lake Artists Society and has work in many public and private collections both in this country and abroad.

JONATHAN LEECH
WOOD TURNING

I have lived in Cumbria all of my life, and the area is a continual source of inspiration. I prefer a minimalist style, allowing the wood to express itself within a simple design. I generally work with hardwoods and am happy to produce work to commission. I am passionate about the environment and only use Cumbrian wood which has been obtained in a sustainable manner.
I can also produce items from customers' own timber.
