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.

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

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.
