Mike EMBDEN After a successful career as an illustrator in the 1970s and 1980s, I decided to devote myself to landscape painting. This has always been a major preoccupation in my work and is driven by a passion for the natural world. In recent years I've made a series of larger paintings of the South Downs. I love the soft, rolling forms of the hills and coombs with their ancient cuttings, paths and drove-ways. I'm particularly interested in low light and long shadows that can reveal these forms to dramatic effect, often creating a poetic or soulful quality. ...see more about Mike Embden

Kate OSBORNE I studied textile design at Northbrook College in Worthing from 1972 to 1976 and, following this, worked for two London textile studios as a floral designer. In 1979 I went to live in Los Angeles where I freelanced, doing production ready artwork for various manufacturers. I then spent a year in New Mexico, living in a shack in an old coal mining town, painting wildlife and botanical subjects, and selling through a gallery in Santa Fe. I returned home in 1984, and began doing illustration for books, magazines and advertising, as well as textile design. Recent clients have included Sainsbury's, London Transport and Mitchell Beazley.
