I am a retired orthopaedic surgeon now working as a full time artist/painter. Mostly self-taught with some training at the local art school at Newcastle

Life has always inspired my art, and art will always inspire my life.

Based in Whitley Bay, Michelle's prints are inspired by place, colour and natural forms. She runs a social enterprise Sea Tern Print CIC.

I am a printmaker specialising in wood engravings and collagraphs. I also work with soft pastels.

Silverkupe Jewellery is the creation of designer/maker Emine Thompson. She works in silver & uses silversmithing, metal clay, enamelling, and sculptural techniques.

A mixed media artist & ceramisist, I love to explore new techniques & styles.
Working with inks & fabric but I am now

Mixed media illustrations in Pen and Ink and Acrylics. Paintings in Acrylics. You'll find me on Newcastle Quayside every Sunday (weather permitting!).

My background is within the advertising industry. I paint watercolours and acrylics, inspired by the evocative & beautiful Northumberland countryside and coastline.

I manage the day to day operations of the Network. If you have any questions or you'd like to add something to the newsletter please
