Artist Statement
Jenny McKenzie
I am an abstract impressionist artist based at The Mill Yard Studio Gallery at Caudwells Mill, Rowsley, Derbyshire. My work is inspired by my life and surroundings. I use colour, variable perspective and scale to create abstract impressionist work that finds a juxtaposition between ‘place’ in real time and the feelings and emotions evoked by it. I strive to produce vibrant works of art that have clarity of colour and light but leave a sense of interpretation to the onlooker.

Rebecca Green
Using the lost wax casting technique Rebecca Green is a silversmith creating tiny solid silver sculptures that can be worn as jewellery. During the process of casting the mould to each piece is broken resulting in a completely unique piece. All of Rebecca’s jewellery is designed and hand crafted in her workshop at Caudwell’s Mill Rowsley. Rebecca draws inspiration from the local landscape and British wildlife. While working on her own jewellery collections, she also makes bespoke pieces such as sculptured pet portraits from photos to create a perpetual memory that will be treasured for years to come.

Jo Spencer
My mosaics take inspiration from nature and the hills and dales that surround me and utilise vintage, damaged and unwanted crockery - a process called ‘Picassiette”. I hope, by using this technique, to reinvent the beauty of these items and preserve the designs and patterns. Each placed piece acts like a brushstroke, and is carefully positioned to create depth, form and texture.
