Pascales subjects are mainly portraits in which the images are spontaneous and free, capturing the soul of her subjects. Pascale feels the mood and character of her subjects are best expressed in the first strokes of the paintbrush or pallet knife. Her art is decorative with a loose technique, but within the collection of paintings produced for 'The Dead Centre of Bath ' exhibition, her subjects and methods have progressed. This progression has been from the early art deco studies, through a decorative, romantic, art nouveau style to African themed subjects. Her final collection displays portraits painted in a looser style creating a sculptural 3D effect. Pascale describes her full collection as an evolution throughout the year, with her favourite piece being a 1m X 1.2m canvas entitled ''Think of Me ''. Although Pascale is not sure how her paintings will develop throughout 2011, she is enjoying the journey and is already planning the next exhibition. 

 

Helena Howcroft showed a collection of paintings with a vibrant textual feel which really came to life when veiwed in the flesh. She creates art pieces with a variety of techniques and mixed media, thick acrylic paint and the odd hand print. Her collection inspired by the vibe of the 1960s Kings Road along with retro album covers and black and white photography.  Fused together with her background in fashion and textiles creating big canvases of eye catching colour, flower power forced into the modern day.
