She captures the joy and beauty that she finds in the natural world - she wants to slow time down to allow a really good look at what is there. See www.terrijonesart.com

Andy Breeze, from Reading, has been experimenting with the Airbrush as a medium, trying to create modern and striking paintings which take advantage of the realism and depth offered by such an instrument. It is a tool with which he says he has a lot to discover and is enjoying the process.

Carol Coates, from Crowthorne, paints figurative work which has strong personal and psychological content often accessed through current affairs, political and global issues. She works instinctively and produces emotional responses to events that reflect her own childhood experiences, hopes and fears.

Caroline Thomson, from Ascot, "I design and create contemporary silver jewellery in my workshop in Berkshire. My work has an organic, textural quality and interesting surface detail inspired by natural forms. I achieve this by using various techniques such as gold fusing, reticulation, hammering, granulation & rolling". See www.carolinethomson.design.officelive.com

Christine Morgan, from Wokingham, is excited by colour and form. She works in stoneware to produce sculptural pots for the home and garden. Recent explorations in glass fusing have led to vibrant, colourful wall pieces, as well as glass to use for all year colour outdoors. See www.brandywineart.co.uk

Dan Dunne, from Reading, trained at Bath Spa University. The subject of his paintings is predominantly abstract figurative. Concepts of process and deconstruction are central to his work. This is shown in the way the image/composition is used and in the methods of execution of the painting. See dandunne.net

Jayne Ward, from Warren Row, trained at Kingston College of Art and worked in the textile industry before becoming an Interior Designer on a freelance basis. In 2008 she was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

Jayne's lifelong fascination with fabric, its colour and texture, is at the heart of her work as a textile artist. Her artworks involve machine-stitching, painting and collaging vintage fabrics onto hand-made paper. "I use the sewing machine as other artists would use a pencil".

Julia Hayward, from Marlow, produces colourful and textured kiln-formed glass in a variety of functional and decorative forms. She is constantly inspired by the lines and textures of the natural world: seashells, landscapes, trees and flowers. Most of her work is kiln-cast into hand-made moulds.

Karen Lewis, from Marlow, for those seeking the unusual, the Karen Lewis Designer Collection of bold and opulent jewellery stands out from the crowd. Her unique, interchangeable clasps, which compliment beautiful semi precious stones, can also be worn separately as a pendant - a clever extra benefit. Also check out the stunning Memory Bracelets.

Kay Singla, from Gerrards Cross, has been sculpting for over 20 years. Her work is a reflection of happiness, family, love and togetherness.

Kirsten Jones, from Wargrave, works from her studio at Barn Acre Gallery in Wargrave where she shows her new paintings and limited edition prints throughout the year.

Kirsten Jones paints quirky collections of objects such as shoes, clothing and crockery as well as imaginary gardens and observed still life. Using layered fragments of maps, dictionary references and stamps from around the world she creates a beautiful, subtle narrative of secret histories, which evoke a memory or sense of place relating to the work. Each of Kirsten's prints is hand worked, signed and editioned by the artist and comes with a short story that outlines the background to the piece.

The type of artwork made depends on Penny's interpretation of the subject; the medium and process used often being integral to the meaning.
