Diary Date: 14 June 2015 - Meet Jeni Cairns at Stamford Arts Centre

Jeni Cairns: Artist and garden designer based in rural Cambridgeshire

Reusing and up-cycling have become an important and integral part of her practice, especially in the various show gardens she has created at Harrogate and RHS Hampton court flower show this year where she won a coveted gold and best in category for “A space to connect and grow”.

Diary Date: 14 June 2015 - Meet Teresa Hodges at Stamford Arts Centre

Teresa Hodges: Lincolnshire based artist inspired by landscape & nature. "I've always most of all enjoyed painting landscapes, and especially trees; I love the changing patterns made against the sky by the branches and leaves, and am always moved by the sight of an ancient dead tree in a green and vibrant setting. I also enjoy painting the small rather whimsical pictures that very often include one of my dogs, either past or present." Read More via Teresa Hodges « ESC Artists .

I am going to ask the expert - Dave - to take the photos for me and if he can do it today I will post them later this evening.
