"Gina Soden, Plague, 2013" by Gina Soden

“Locally notorious, ‘Plague' has been abandoned for decades. My work is all about finding beauty in decay and going to great lengths to find the perfect axis between devastation and exaltation. I bribed a local to get him to ferry me across on his fishing boat to this place. He would not step onto the soil and said he would wait for me. Many roofs had fallen through and nature really had taken over. One of the images I captured shows how the plants had intertwined and become so knotted they had formed a new roof. The rays spilling through allowed for some beautiful conditions to shoot in. It was remarkable to find such stillness and desolation in such close proximity to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.” - Gina Soden

"Galina Zimmatore, WILD MEADOW, 2013" by Galina Zimmatore

"All around Devon there are many natural meadows still surviving the onslaught of civilization. This painting I made to celebrate the wonders of nature when it is allowed to flourish in its natural state. The flowers and plant leaves are the Daucas Carta (or Wild Carrot to you and me). As I am close to the sea there are often various types of birds souring above the meadow surveying the land from the skies above. I have used acrylic paints on a canvas board with a gloss varnish finish to create a rustic sheen to the artwork." - Galina Zimmatore.

"John Baran, 2, Baja, 2012" by John Baran

“Baja, 2 is part of a series based on aerial images of southern Baja California, near Cabo San Lucas. The land is very dry there, and while viewing the area with Google Earth I saw that most of the undeveloped landscape appears as a light brown color. Upon further inspection, I noticed several peculiar lighter, rectangular patches of earth in various locations. It is hard to tell what exactly these features are, but they were fascinating. Therefore, each painting in the Baja series contains a rectangular shape inspired by these anomalies.” - John Baran.

"Colleen Brewer, Octo-pussy" by Colleen Brewer

“Octo-pussy looks at people’s pre-conceptions of what they consider ‘nice’ and what they consider to be ‘unpleasant’. Unsettling the viewer is something I enjoy doing as well as challenging a person to question their own reasoning for finding the subject matter so repulsive, by creating an image that can be thought of as macabre, gruesome and vile, but is also intertwined with something that is usually considered cute, I hope to have done that. It also explores our relationship with nature and science. Our need to experiment, and push boundaries to the moral extreme.” - Colleen Brewer.

"Tom Berry, Storm in a Teacup, 2013" by Tom Berry

"An illustration of the phrase, and a combination of both the high seas and high teas. The original piece was created using pen & ink, and the traditional method of japanese woodblock printing." - Tom Berry

"Helen Smart, Barclay Church in Winter" by Deleted Artist

“This limited edition Giclee print depicts Barclay Viewforth Church, one of my favourite buildings in Edinburgh. The ornate Gothic structure was designed by FT Pilkington in the 1860s and the 250ft spire dominates the landscape to the west of Bruntsfield Links. It is seen here with the winter sun giving a warm glow to the stonework, contrasting with the snow laden sky in the background. A solitary figure enters the picture from the left and is seen striding determinedly across the Links, possibly trying to get home before it snows again.” - Helen Smart.

"William Oxer, Waiting, 2013" by William Oxer

“‘Waiting’ is a painting of a woman lying on her back in a flowing dress, her feet in the air. One inspiration was ‘The Christ of St John of the Cross’ by Dali. Yet here we have a woman, not Christ; clothed rather than unclothed, ethereal rather than wretched; closer to Victorian Romanticism. She has her legs firmly crossed; denying sexuality and perhaps an allusion to the Cross. Is this a woman waiting supinely for her lover? Or a reference to the last moments of Christ; ‘giving up the ghost?’. Perhaps this work is literally turning things upside down.” - William Oxer

"Giovanna Grueiro, Silence Park #2, 2011" by Giovanna Grueiro Photography

“One early morning as I am driving home through a nearby park, I noticed this bright light cutting through the fog. It was a magical moment I had to capture. These photographs give any room a tranquil feeling.” - Giovanna Grueiro

"Amy Devlin, Scottie, 2013" by Amy Devlin

“Nature is nothing if not quirky. Animals are a fascinating hodge-podge of differences, and I am loving looking at them in detail as I paint. I grew up surrounded by various animals and wanted to be a vet for years but obviously deviated from this plan slightly....Currently I have a not-so-secret yearning for a dog but can't bring myself to traumatise my ageing cat with the arrival of a dog. Painting different dogs is helping!” - Amy Devlin.

"ASmallWorldPhotography - Flora & Fauna Collection, SUMATRAN ORANGUTAN - BUKIT LAWANG, SUMATRA " by ASmallWorldPhotography - Flora & Fauna Collection

"My husband and I had heard about the extraordinary work going on in Bukit Lawang’s orangutan conservation program in Sumatra and decided to visit to support the work being done there. This tiny remote village situated on the edge of the Gunung Leuser National Park is one of the few remaining places on earth where you can see wild & semi-wild orangutans thanks to the incredible rehabilitation work going on there. The organisation helps to rescue countless numbers of these great apes from various forms of captivity across the world, including those kept as exotic pets and in illegal zoos, as well rescuing those injured & displaced due to deforestation. We slipped and slid through the mud and dense undergrowth on an exhausting trek to spot this reclusive and endangered primate. We were so lucky to catch some rare and intimate moments with these magnificent creatures and were amazed at how similar they were to us as we managed to get some really close, uninhibited shots as the apes came near to feed. This image is our very favourite from the countless photos we took in the park. We like to think it is a representation of the incredibly selfless ongoing work of Sumatra’s various Orangutan rehabilitation & rescue organisations and so needs to be cherished by anyone who owns it!" - Hannah Ritchie-Neale.
