Beverley Johnson Printmaker
I am a printmaker living and working in Aylesford with a degree in Art History. A lino cutting course in 2015 and the acquisition of an original 1860 Albion printing press proved to be turning points from which my printmaking practice has developed and flourished.
My original, limited edition lino prints are often based in nature and have a simple graphic Japanese feel to them.
I exhibit widely, including in London. I also accept commissions and run workshops.

Louise Arnold
Based in Rainham, Kent, Louise is an artist and Mum of two, working in watercolour and digital media. Louise is inspired by the colours and patterns in nature and specialises in wildlife art as well as animal and pet portraits. She loves to incorporate vibrant colours into her work and feels it’s important to use her art as a platform to raise awareness of endangered species.
Louise enjoys both watercolour and digital painting and has developed her own unique, colourful and vibrant style combining the two mediums.
Having had a career in marketing and design, Louise’s art business Tickled Ink Art was born from a love of art, colour and technology following an illness diagnosis. Louise has a degree in Industrial Design and has always had a passion for art and an interest in all things digital. Louise also works on commissions and pet portraits.

Ewa Page
Ewa Page is a Polish/British artist based in Kent, whose work is inspired and influenced by aspects of nature and her imagination.
Ewa loves working outside in her garden because of the direct connection it provides with nature, which is clearly evident in her final artwork. Ewa’s work is very personal, with her love of painting transferred onto each individual canvas and the colour palette reflecting her feelings and moods at the time of painting each piece.
It is Ewa’s intention to take the viewer to an imaginary land, a place of joy and laughter. Her work is a celebration of flowers, happiness, and nature. She loves bright colours and the tones she finds around her.
In addition to creating her beautiful and unique artwork, Ewa came up with the concept of running an uplifting art exhibition to raise community spirits, following Lockdown. Initially intended as a once off exhibition to give local artists the opportunity to showcase their work, Under The Rainbow with Ewa as the Chair, has grown to become a successful business. The organisation now runs up to 4 large scale exhibitions a year, in popular leisure and shopping destinations.

Tony Caroli
Tony has been working with Kiln formed Glass since 2008 & loves to experiment mixing glass with other materials. Currently making 2 & 3D works glass jewelry making & experimenting with different sculptural ideas nothing more enjoyable than working in the studio creations are put into the kiln & if the kiln gods are favorable, I am amazed by the lovely glass that is there when the kiln is opened, which is certainly an exciting moment. But mistakes happen & sometimes they are happy ones but can never be recreated.

Paul Johnson Woodturner
After spending my working life within the building industry and trying several hobbies along the way I took up wood turning which I found very addictive after retiring in 2014. I upgraded my equipment and started turning virtually full time, using mainly British timber with a few African hardwoods thrown in, the size and colour being the guide, the wood sometimes determines what is made as it has a life of its own and can throw up the unexpected. All are sustainably sourced.
Through the Association of Woodturning Great Britain (AWGB), I trained to be an instructor. Along with doing my own work and commission pieces, I also teach 1 to 1, people of all ages to start turning safely, I enjoy passing on my experience.
