Helen Lambert is a self-employed artist living in North London. She specialises in richly detailed oil on canvas paintings, focusing on magical and mythological themes as well as commissioned portraits and other figurative pieces. Her artwork is often painstakingly researched and planned, and frequently incorporates complex symbolism. She also works in acrylic and graphite on paper, and is a professional graphic and web designer on a freelance basis. You can browse her online portfolio at www.wax-and-wane.org.

Kristen Clatworthy lives in Maidenhead. She paints improvised and highly stylised acrylic on canvas paintings, which combine tribal elements with personal, erotic and shamanic themes. She approaches each painting as an experiment which may dramatically change over time; her creative process is spontaneous and fluid, and she never considers an artwork to be entirely finished. She also enjoys working with sculpture, collage, bodycasts and other three-dimensional art.
