group of independent artists on the North Norfolk coast
ARTISTS
Our membership ebbs and flows like the tide along the north norfolk coast where we all reside.
SOPHIA WILLIAMS / IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTER
COASTAL MARSH ARTIST EVENT ORGANISER
An impressionist painter who works mainly in oils. I live in Stiffkey on the North Norfolk Coast. I take my inspiration from the ever-evolving landscape that I am lucky enough to call home.
Having long admired the Impressionists; my work employs methods that they used. I am fascinated with the effect of light on the landscape and my work reflects that obsession.
KAT WHEELER / CERAMIC ARTIST
Kat Wheeler works from her studio in rural North Norfolk. Her work is predominantly wheel thrown and high fired stoneware and oak smoked raku. Her pallet is generally of a natural and calming tone and stems from her desire to echo the landscape around her from the earth tones of the pebble beaches along the Norfolk Coast to the large open skies that are reflected in the sea. From functional tableware to large statement pieces her forms are designed to contrast the beauty of the raw clay against the glazed surface. She uses the Raku process alongside her stoneware work and produces functional statement pieces as a step away from the usual non functional raku form. Her work is designed to be tactile and graceful.
GUY ALLEN / PRINTMAKER
Guy Allen is an experimental printmaker, draftsman and talented young British artist. Working hard from his studio on the North Norfolk coast, Guy’s trademark experimental approach to printmaking presents an exciting mix of colour, gold-leaf and an original, contemporary take on the traditional art of etchings. Studying at Central St Martins from 2008 – 2011 Guy discovered the printing press on a trip to the École Nationale Supérieure Des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Finding an art form that lent itself so perfectly to his artistic aspirations was a revelation. He has never looked back. Since then Guy has won a number of prices, include the Diana Brooks Prize at the Mall Galleries in 2018.
AMANDA FLOWERS/ MULTI DISCIPLINE ARTIST
Original paintings and ceramics. Limited edition prints and cards.
KAREN ADAMS / OIL PAINTER
Karen Adams has been painting landscapes in oils for over 12 years and selling via Instagram, Open Studio Events and her annual Solo Show in Norfolk but more recently has had a painting accepted and sold at the ING Discerning Eye Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London. Karen loves to paint predominantly in the landscape to capture the mood and changing light effects but she does finish paintings in the studio. Paintings range in size from 30cm x 20cm up to large canvasses around 130cm x 80cm.
ALISON WAGSTAFFE/ ARTIST
Greetings from Blakeney on the North Norfolk coast where I work in my garden studio- a muddle of roses and salty air! My pictures celebrate the romantic imagination and life in general, in paintings and hand-made artists' prints - mostly collagraphs and monotypes.
I also sell limited edition signed giclee prints (posh name for high quality archival reproductions!), greetings cards and postcards.
ANTONIA CLARE / PAINTER
Antonia Clare is an award-winning artist and writer, based in North Norfolk. Her work is expressionist in style, inspired by the wild and wonderful coastline where she lives, the colours and atmosphere of the places she visits on her travels, and sun-filled still life and interiors. She is driven by a love of colour and a passion for the painting process. Working intuitively in oil or acrylic, she uses large painterly brushstrokes that leave her work feeling fresh and uplifting. Antonia exhibits regularly and participates in Open Studio events from her shared studio in Glandford. Her paintings have been shortlisted for the Sir John Hurt Art Prize and accepted to the Institute of East Anglian Artists Open Exhibition. Her work is held in collections in the UK and abroad.
CALLISTO AZURA LINET / ARTIST
Mixed media painting, textiles and digital artworks, colourful and bold. My work is abstract, inspired from organic shapes and forms. Use of creative sublimation, mixed media artworks using posca pens, acrylic and ink - as well as photoshop manipulations taken from my own photography - can all be viewed in my workshop! Canvases, prints, textile pieces, cards and photographs available! - I graduated in Textile Design at Norwich University of the Arts in 2020, since then I have evolved in my creative making, and I love working in my workshop as much as I can!
JEREMY BEVAN / ARTIST
With his background as a gardener, his art work is influenced by the landscape, and largely begins with sketchbook drawings in various media based on natural forms, landscapes, plants etc. From these starting points he extrapolates, explores and abstracts to create artworks in different and mixed media, including acrylic and oil paint, oil and chalk pastels, charcoal, graphite, pencil, ink and collage.
CAROLE GRIFFIN RBA / ARTIST
Carole Griffin is an Award Winning Artist and elected Member of the Royal Society of British Artists, painting in either Oils or Watercolour.

MELANIE SADLER / ARTIST
I have been painting for ten years. I mainly work in oils and have found landscapes to be my preferred subject. As a child in the 60s and 70s I fell in love with North Norfolk, spending school holidays messing around in boats. Happily I now live in the place that holds so many precious memories for me.
