ROY FAIRCHILD-WOODARD
Roy Fairchild was born in 1953 in Surrey, England. He is particularly influenced by the painters of the Renaissance and he visits Italy in particular to study frescos, tapestries and paintings and to see for himself the techniques with which they were executed. His surfaces are rich and sumptuous and he uses varied interwoven elements such as fabrics and flowers in his work. His admiration for Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimpt can be seen in occasional references of line and decoration but he has extended their techniques to produce something altogether bolder and contemporary. As a printmaker he has found most flavor with serigraphy where the rich, opaque colors of his work is furthered by the medium, although his figure drawings he still prefers to translate into etchings. For the past few years he has been giving classes to teach his skills and techniques to young artists.
GARY BENFIELD
Gary Benfield was born December 6th, 1965 in Birmingam. He studied art atStourbridge College of art(1982 – 1984) and at Wrexham College of Art (1984-1986). In 1986 he became a professional freelance illustrator.
After leaving the academic world he set up his own studio near London and concentrated on drawing and painting figures. Within a few years his works was collected throughout Europe and his reputation firmly established.
His pictures represent a discrete world of objects which combine figures, mythology, nature, still life and despite the casual appearance of his compositions, all this imagery is highly organized, after long observations one finds the hidden symmetry of the graphic design.
Benfield is considered to be one of the most renowned contemporary artists in the art world today. His works are collected by art collectors world wide.
JANET TREBY
Janet Treby was born in England in 1955
Janet Treby’s work is a personal look at the human form inspired by a fascination for drawing, movement and natural forms.
Treby’s holistic approach to life and strong spiritual beliefs flow through her work, and result in a romantic ambience where the contemporary and traditional synthesise. Her studies of figures in motion show their attempt to escape from earthly confines. They are delivered into an ethereal land, a world in which humans fly and dance to the tune of the wind.
She intends for the viewer to find their own path through her paintings, for their minds to go on journeys of their own choosing.
Janet Treby has exhibited worldwide including London, Tokyo and Moscow. She lives a rural family existence in Bedford.

FELIX MAS
Spanish Artist Felix Mas uses his paintbrush to convey emotion.Born in Barcelona, he trained at both the Artes y Oficios and the Escuela Superior de San Jorge, then furthered his artistic education with extensive travels throughout Europe and the United States, eventually returning to his native Barcelona to work.
Mas finds inspiration in women amidst the opulent settings of the Asian world, especially Japan and India with their beautiful costumes and landscape, Egypt, ripe with its enigmatic symbols, and ancient Greece and Rome, saturated with their unique elegance and sensuality.
Despite his fame, Felix Mas has remained a modest man, continuing to strive to achieve his dream of becoming an “Artist” in its most complete and absolute meaning. In the background classical music plays as he works his twelve-hour days.
