Rachel Goffredo
Principally landscapes and seascapes - predominantly highly textured with impasto, using palette knives
Inspired by nature
Media - water based Winsor & Newton oils and Golden acrylics.
Rachel Goffredo is a self-taught artist specialising in botanicals, seascapes and predominantly Italian landscapes. She draws her inspiration from nature and in particular trips to Italy, where the intricate beauty of the hibiscus flowers in Sicily first caught her imagination.
Rachel especially enjoys the dramatic effects created with palette knives and thick impasto oils and acrylics, which convey movement, texture and vibrancy in her paintings.
Her work has been exhibited at the Holy Art Metamorphosis Exhibition in London in December 2020.

Kerry Webb
Rural and Coastal Landscapes
Tilehurst, Berkshire
Kerry is a landscape artist, based in West Berkshire. She takes her inspiration mainly from rural and coastal landscapes, and the transformative effects that seasonal and meteorological change have on these. Kerry is especially fascinated by human intervention on the landscape and the resulting tension between permanence and impermanence: ancient monuments and architectural ruins being a favourite theme. In particular, the way these become absorbed into the surrounding environment over time while maintaining some presence of their own.
Kerry works in oils and acrylics, both in her studio and en plein air. Kerry is a member of the Reading Guild of Artists (RGA), the Henley Art and Crafts Guild (HACG) and Open Studios West Berkshire and North Hampshire. She exhibits regularly with the RGA and HACG, and has also had work accepted for exhibition at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, Penlee House Gallery & Museum, Penzance, The Badger in the Wall Gallery, North Yorkshire, and ‘The Artist and Leisure Painter (TALP) Open’ at Patchings Art Centre, Nottingham.
‘Wilder’s Folly after the Rain’ was shortlisted for the final round of judging for the 2022 Royal Academy of Arts’ Summer Exhibition and she was selected as a Finalist in the SAA Artists of the Year ’24 competition.
Her work has also featured in Leisure Painter magazine (August 2023 and June 2024) and in June 2022 she had a fun day out at Royal Ascot participating as a ‘Wild Card’ artist in Series 8 of Sky Arts ‘Landscape Artist of the Year’.’

Maria Meerstadt
Landscape, Floral and Animal Artist
Painting in Oil
Art Tutor - All Art Mediums
Classes in Maidenhead
Maria has always loved to paint and feels immensely privileged to be a full-time artist.
The ideas for her work are influenced by colour. She never sees a blue sky – only shades of blue, with hints of pink, apricot, maybe grey! Trees are colours created on the trunks and leaves by sunlight, or times of the day.
Maria comes from the beautiful Channel Islands and has been lucky to have traveled extensively, always absorbing different cultures and scenery. Thirty years ago, she discovered Scotland and her main joy is capturing the beauty of the Highlands and Islands.
Art Groups / Exhibitions
Maria is a member of Artists at Goring, Cookham Arts Club and is a Henley Arts Trail Artist. She exhibits regularly.
She teaches all the main mediums to adults, regardless of what stage they are at in their learning. Details are available on the website www.artalivemaidenhead.com
