Janet Mayled
Painter
Janet is an award-winning artist who has been a professional artist for 40 years. Using predominately acrylics, but sometimes other media such as oils and mixed media such as papers, fabric to add depth and texture to her vivid and complex compositions. Janet records landscapes, still life and urban scenes, but is focusing more on her observations of people going around their everyday activities. Whatever the subject matter she is looking for captivating compositions which draw your eye through the painting, breaking down elements into patterns, leading your eye from one object to the next., using line, colour and form.
Janet records plein air and also within her studio. She has won several awards for her work such as Buxton Spa Prize, Blackburn ‘Paint the Town’, Longridge Open, Clitheroe Open and also Preston Portrait Challenge.
Janet has written three articles about her inspiration and use of materials and published in ‘The Artist magazine’. Her work is held in public, corporate and private collections. Janet’s paintings feature in ‘Manchester through the eyes of the artist’ published by Bloomsbury in 2025
Nick's personal carvings usually depict real or imagined creatures. Often the pieces are imbued with humour. Sometimes this is overt and at other times it is quite subtle and understated. Always sensitive and skilfully crafted Nick's work will offer pleasure to the viewer for many years.
Recently he has begun making intimate sensitively carved tiny birds on beautifully selected blocks of burr elm. Blue tits, gold crests, tree creepers and wagtails make up the current range, but I am sure more will be added soon.
In his own words:
"I carve and paint each bird by hand. No two are the same. They are limited in the sense that for my own sake as well as yours, I won't churn them out. I carve them freshly and spontaneously while paying attention to the basics of anatomy before I paint each one as if it is a watercolour on wood."
