'The Lemon Timers' return for their seventh show at Fisherton Mill.

This exhibition, named 'Out of Line', makes reference to their weekly meetings, drawing from a life model. This shared activity forms the building blocks for their various disciplines of paint, mixed media, pottery and print and how they have drawn out of their line drawings various forms of expression. The friendly and supportive life class has enabled them to not only focus on composition, structure, accurate representation, interpretation and form but also a fine appreciation for coffee, good chat and cake.

Meet the Lemon Timers...

Caroline Curtis
Caroline Curtis works in both acrylics and oils, painting abstracted landscapes of the places she loves such as the Cornish coast and the wild open countryside of Yorkshire, where she is from.

Paul Donovan
After twenty years of ceramic sculpture, Paul Donovan has returned to painting and drawing, still inspired by colour and the human figure. He is currently experimenting with abstraction using oil and watercolour.

Amanda Fisher
Amanda has always loved drawing the human form. More recently she has used the figure in her paintings. As a keen dancer, she is also interested in trying to capture the ebb and flow of dance movement.

Margaret Gill
Margaret has a love of painting and printmaking. Her work ranges from flowing abstracts to more considered smaller works. Her subjects include light, coastal elements and spontaneous lines.
She has said that she owes a lot to her deep attachment to Scotland and Scottish artists.

Ann Hopkins
Ann has been drawing and painting since she was a child and it is still her favoured way of exploring ideas and reacting to whatever attracts her attention. Although sculpture, printing, glass engraving and more have been explored, there seems to be greater possibility in paint.

Jane Staniland
Jane is an artist and a maker. Making is instinctive and the drawing, modelling and shaping are the thoughts, plans and expression. The process of firing and re-firing takes the clay to vitrification and strength. Colours run and change. Jane’s pots are always out of line. The lines of coils and incised drawings of figures and sprigs of nature break rules and dance around the vessels.  Her pots are like three-dimensional paintings.

Debra Sweeney
Debra is a figurative artist using mixed media in her paintings and drawings to emphasise light and composition. The figure is abstracted and the landscape re imagined.

Anne Tompson
Anne is moved to paint places she loves and describes her work as “a sensitive appreciation of light and/or the landscape”. Be it impressionistic or abstracted, her pictures resound with life.

Tricia Webb
Tricia has been painting in all media for nearly forty years but now works mainly in oil and acrylic. Although she loves painting wild landscapes, Tricia never tries to copy a view but prefers to capture her feelings about the experience of the place when she returns to the studio.

Meet the artists every Tuesday and Saturday in the Main Gallery during the exhibition between 11am and 3pm.
