Freida
McKitrick- print
Liverpool
based fine artist and printmaker Freida McKitrick’s work reflects the
time-honoured practice of taking common, ordinary images and objects and
placing them in an artistic context, but with a little twist: She selects
images or things that are or were at home in ordinary human life but have some
extra significance. Freida’s art
is based on observations of life using a variety of subjects to record events,
situations and ideas that have inspired her, or given cause for amusement. Freida works from a studio in a
renovated mill in the heart of Liverpool city centre, she draws her inspiration
from the eclectic mix of architecture, people, and culture that radiates from
Liverpool and other cities that she has been fortunate to have visited.

Michael
William Burn- photography
Mike
is a painter and decorator by trade. He discovered photography enhancement
quite by accident, when in 2007 he started playing around with a computer
programme which changed the colours and appearance of photographs. He really
liked the eye catching effect and started manipulating my favourite
images. His work is mainly
inspired by a love of iconic buildings and the ever changing Liverpool
waterfront.

Patterns
on the land and the structure of towns and roads have always fascinated Mary,
from her early days of studying geography. She is interested in them not only
for their visual impact, but also in the effects that human occupation,
development and activities have on the landscape. She has been collecting
antique maps for years and recently have also been influenced by the aerial
photographs.She began formal art training in her late forties with an A level
in Art Textiles followed by City and Guilds Creative textiles. Her work usually
includes techniques of appliqué, print, hand-dyed fabrics and machine
embroidery, resulting in a combination of line, colour and texture to interpret
my ideas.
