Mike Johnson
Original Paintings in Oils and Acrylic and 3D Works
Always enthusiastic about drawing, Mike started by copying from comic books at the age of about seven or eight.
Pursuing further education in art was not encouraged at school (or home) so he studied zoology, sometimes known as the ‘artist’s science’ (possibly because of the amount of drawing involved).
A long career in computer software development didn’t allow for too much artistic progress, so Mike is now making up for lost time. He is fairly prolific and generally paints subjects based on places that he knows and enjoys, using either oils or acrylics.
Although his paintings are fairly figurative, his inclination is towards more abstraction. Unfortunately, the left side of the brain doesn’t always share this ambition and has an undue influence on the results.
Art Groups / Exhibitions
Chichester Art Society, Portsmouth Art Society, Chichester and Hayling Island Arts Trail and Hampshire Open Studios.
Mike exhibits regularly, including the Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society Summer Exhibitions, Oxmarket Centre of Arts Exhibitions and the Chichester and Hayling Island Arts Trail.

Ted Hepenstal
Contemporary Artist
Acrylic, Gouache, Oil Pastel, Ink, Collage and Pencil
As an artist, I want to develop paintings that speak both to me and to others about the beauty that I see in the world. I love to paint landscapes and townscapes, particularly scenes in my home county of Hampshire.
I am influenced greatly by artists such as Van Gogh, Kandinsky and Cezanne and use bold colours in my paintings, in the hope of capturing moods and emotions and also creating a sense of connection to a location.
I paint for the pure enjoyment of it and desire to share this joy with others.
My paintings are made by using a variety of mediums including acrylic, gouache, oil pastel, ink, collage and pencil.
Art Group / Exhibitions
I have exhibited paintings at Winchester Cathedral and also at the Business Design Centre, Islington, as winner of the Abstract and Experimental category for the Society for all Artists.

Karen Eames
Mixed Media Artist
Landscapes and Seascapes
Based in Chalkhill Studio, Oliver's Battery, Winchester, Hampshire, Karen originally trained and worked as a nurse. She always painted in her spare time.
Karen achieved her lifetime dream when she had the opportunity to study Fine Art at Winchester School of Art and Design. She has exhibited throughout the UK and beyond. Her love for painting continues to develop and her work is often expressive, dreamlike and captures a sense of place. Karen enjoys working across media, especially cold wax medium. Her work uses colour, texture and form to capture semi-abstract landscapes and seascapes. The texture is created in layers and she experiments with many different mark-making tools. She explores painting from a deeper level, often relating to personal, visual experiences of her everyday life.
Karen’s painting has a more intuitive approach, which she develops through self-reflection and spending time walking her dogs. She works in sketchbooks on site and completes the paintings in her studio.
“Landscapes and skies are often overlooked, they surround us and yet can be missed as we are caught up in our busy lives. I sketch on site; I like the idea of paintings being part memory and part real. I have an intuitive approach to art, preferring to explore the colours of dreams rather than reality”
They become part real and part of my dreamscape. They allow me to free myself from the reality of the everyday.”
