Linda Saul ARWS
Reading, Berkshire
Contemporary Watercolour and Mixed Media Artist. focusing on the built environment - both urban and coastal
Linda works in water-based mixed media with an innovative, non-traditional approach focusing on texture. She exploits the physical properties of different water-based media and papers and often uses collage to enable her to mix paper surfaces to achieve different textural effects. She enjoys painting coastal subjects and urban scenes including construction sites.
Living near Reading in Berkshire, in 2019 she instigated and co-curated an exhibition inspired by Oscar Wilde’s The Ballad of Reading Gaol. Further inspired by the campaign to Save Reading Gaol to create an Arts and Culture Centre, she organised the Reading Gaol Hug which saw the Gaol surrounded by 1000 people linking hands. In 2020, she co-authored the book 'Reading’s Influential Women' published by Two Rivers Press.

Clare Buchta
Landscape and Seascape Artist working in Print,
Oil, Gouache and Mixed Media
Clare is an award-winning artist who has recently been featured in
Artists and Illlustrators magazine as one to watch.
Clare is a Landscape and Seascape artist who uses innovative methods and media to produce unique landscapes and seascapes. She enjoys painting in a semi-abstract style, including monotypes using oils, mixed media and print methods. The British coast and countryside are the inspiration for these original works of art which although semi-abstract, retain a recognisable sense of place.
Clare has developed a unique style of painting in oils, which uses thin layers to allow light to move through the painting. These works are framed behind glass. Clare also paints on an aluminium-based surface which allows the painting to be hung flat to the wall with no frame necessary. There are also paintings on cradled board which can be left unframed, or presented using a floating frame. She also specialises and tutors in Monotypes, a printing technique, to produce beautiful landscapes.
Art Group / Exhibitions
Clare is a member of the Reading Guild of Artists and regularly exhibits with them and at other venues in the south of England. Her work is in collections in the UK and abroad. For example, in the Obsidian Art Gallery and in the Bygillian Gallery
Clare's art has been selected for many awards, including the SAA National Award for Abstract Painting.

Karen Davies
Landscape and Animal Artist using Oils and Acrylics
I live in Cookham, Berkshire and tend to paint landscapes and animals using Oils and Acrylics.
My work has become looser and more painterly over time, using thicker layers of paint. I am happy to work from good photos and accept commissions. The starting price for my artwork is £180 for smaller works. I also have high-quality Fine Art Giclée Prints of some of the paintings, which cost £40.
I have been painting in oils since I was 15. In 2003 I completed a HND in Fine Art at Reading College of Art and Design (now TVU), which allowed me to explore other mediums such as etching, ceramics, photography and screen printing. I prefer to work in oils and like being able to see the brush strokes in a painting, because I think this makes it more powerful and enhances the composition.
A Spring lockdown Still Life, ‘Daffodils’ (Oil on Board, 30 cm x 40cm). I thought the creamy yellow of the flowers contrasted well with the blue of the tablecloth. I made up the green background though; it just reminded me of Spring.

Mohan Banerji
Pen and Wash, Mixed Media, Acrylics
I first picked up a sketch pen or a brush in 2016! I have no formal art education, which perhaps explains the lack of a ‘style’. I love to record what I see, trying to capture a sense of place and time, drawing and painting where I live and where I travel to.
Pen and ink, watercolours, acrylics, pastels and mixed media are my go-to mediums. I love to explore and experiment: mediums and subject matter vary, but the thread that weaves through it all is my love of lines, textures and colours. I can relate to Walt Disney’s quote : “I can never stand still … I resent the limitations of my own imagination.”
Art Groups / Exhibitions
I am a Full Exhibiting Member of both the Reading Guild of Artists and the Wokingham Art Society. In addition to having my work published, it can also be found in homes around the UK, Australia, Singapore, India and the USA.
