New Artist Fair Feature - Lisa Andrews

Lisa is a British artist with an established working studio in the gardens of her home. There she has covered a diverse range of subject matter and developed her expertise working in oil on canvas. However, it Lisa's my love of travel and the inspiration in the diversity of humankind that has led her to cover a range of fascinating studies from the media fuelled obsession with celebrity culture, to the calm reflective nature of the Dalai Lama.

Lisa only returned to painting 18 months ago after a 13 year gap. Her work has been reviewed by the Daily Mirror Art critic, Martin Newman, and she has exhibited with a number of respected international artists, including Mark Demsteader and Paul Lemmon.

New Artist Fair Feature - Sandra Jordan

These fan-blooming-tastic photographs are by Sandra Jordan, whose two greatest passions in life are travel and photography. She bought her first camera in her late teens from the local paper, £50 with three lenses, and from then on she was officially hooked.

Sandra's day job for the past 15 years has been working in production in the film industry (ah the dreaded yet necessary day job!) but her passion for photography has never died. She's been lucky enough to work with some of the film industry’s best cinematographers who have helped her with tips along the way and also kept her enthusiasm for the medium alive, translating their advice and techniques into stills photography.

From a very early age Sandra traveled around the world with her family, sparking a huge interest for her in foreign countries and foreign cultures, and in 2007 a three-month train trip from London To Turkey re-awakened her love of travel photography.

Sandra likes simple photographs, line, texture, and form and, although she enjoys shooting colour, she is often more drawn to black and white. Photography enables her to, for short periods of time, immerse herself in different cultures. It has made her more aware of my surroundings and allows her to view the world and the people in it in a different way.

New Artist Fair Feature - Jerry Hancock

Jerry Hancock became a professional artist in September 2009 after a lifetime of painting. That's a lot of hard work there!
He held his maiden art exhibition at Cornerstone gallery near Oxford in May 2011. In 1984 he moved from using oils and inks to acrylic aerosols. The messy process of painting with aerosols belies the end product, as what he produces are delicately executed pieces, with incredible detail that speaks rather more of watercolour than of spray can. Combined with Hancock’s scientific background — a degree in chemistry and 30 years as a science teacher — this leads to a body of work with a strong fascination with wind power and other natural sources of energy, and with puny and self-absorbed man’s interface with the wider world. Later work encompasses both the natural and the built environments: stark leafless trees, huge wind turbines, and the towering office blocks of Canary Wharf and New York City, the latter two from which Hancock admits to drawing much inspiration. Like Banksy, Hancock admits to occasionally liking to introduce humour and quirkiness into his art and like Dali he loves to paint with vivid colours and to leave the audience to interpret his art.
