James McGairy

James Lives and works on the Northern edge of the North York Moors, responding to his environment, creating paintings to celebrate this unique landscape. James aims to convey a sense of place, by conjuring with paint. ‘I search for subjects that inspire, looking for a ‘Light’. I return to familiar places and with luck, I try to capture a moment. My process involves layers of paint, to achieve depth, I am continually thrilled by the magical quality of paint. I am attempting to express my visceral connection to the North York Moors.’

Patrick Miller

I paint solely in watercolour, often enhanced with ink, mainly landscapes. The wonderful landscapes and seascapes of the North Yorkshire national park are well known and I paint both but I am also drawn to our industrial areas and the more down to earth post industrial areas such as South Gare. I would hope to exhibit a mixture to reflect the broad scope our area has to offer.
