5 Ways to See is a group of Sussex Artists, each profoundly influenced by the world and landscape around them but whose individual vision finds its expression very differently.
Maggie Tredwell, Wendy Palmer, Julie Batty, Jane Dahill and Julia Brown invite you to come with them on a journey through their landscapes. It is their hope that you will be drawn into, and inspired by the diversity of their work and through it gain a sense of the marvel which is the world around us.
Maggie is a professional artist with a Masters in Fine Art and Post Graduate Certificate in Education. She paints in oils and acrylics and has won both local and national awards. Her precise drawing style and muted palette will fire your imagination.
Wendy is a multi-disciplinary artist and designer working in ceramics and paint. Her sculptural ceramics, produced with an instinctive use of colour, reflect her love of landscape, nature and history. Her work is not only beautiful to look at but immensely tactile.
Julie’s painting career began after semi-retirement from a lifetime of primary school teaching. This background has given her an ability to use her work to tell a story and evoke memory, her instinctive use of colour and light conveying an essential essence of place.
Jane grew up in an arty household but pursued a career as a solicitor, returning to art after retirement. She works with both oil paint and textiles, combining stitching with natural objects to portray a real, but different, sense of what landscape can mean.
Julia’s background in geography and her interest in the marks which man makes upon the landscape is evident in her painterly machine embroideries which delicately depict the Sussex landscape with exquisite skill.
