Ancient Forest - Annabelle Horrex
Size: 1.26 x 1.22 meters
The composition centres around a mystical tree, which dominates the frame, evoking imagery of the tree of life. It appears to be printed on fabric and suspended from a branch. Additionally, the artwork features leaves, ferns, and various other objects stitched into it. Notably, these components have been ethically sourced from gardens and green waste to minimize environmental impact.
Coastal life: Scenes from the beaches of Cromer 2024 - Keiran Jarvis

These images depict a scene of a fishing operation by the sea. The first image shows a person wearing orange waterproof clothing standing next to a trailer filled with fishing equipment on a pebbly beach, while the second image displays a fishing boat named "Alice" moored near the shore. In the third image, a tractor is pulling a trailer on the beach, likely involved in transporting fishing gear or catch.
The reason these photos were taken could be to document the daily activities and livelihoods of coastal communities engaged in fishing. Fishing is not only an economic activity but also deeply rooted in the cultural and social fabric of many coastal regions. By capturing scenes of fishing operations, these photos could serve to document the landscape and lifestyle of coastal areas, preserving a visual record of traditional practices for future generations. Additionally, they might be intended for promotional or educational purposes, showcasing the beauty of coastal landscapes and the hard work of those who make a living from the sea.
Cameron Harcourt
The idea behind my work is to create mysterious and peaceful photographs at night in the woods using a bright torch with coloured lenses to experiment with different effects. With these photos, I paint using watercolour or oil paint. I also experiment by going to quiet streets and parks and photographing them at night. Lately, with my work, I feel I now have a deeper personal connection because I'm reflecting on an experience. I believe there is potential for more creativity and to create really interesting and unique work by utilizing the night. My influential artists for this work are Gregory Crewdson, who stages scenes at night for his photography and creates mysterious photographs, and Vincent van Gogh, who infuses feeling into his paintings for self-expression, which is something I am also striving for.

Sunset Over the Loch, 2024- Caitlin Pratt
Acrylic on canvas
Size: 59.5 cm x 84.1 cm
My current practice is concerned with the continuum between representation and abstraction. Recently, I have been experimenting with a variety of materials and methods to create abstract works that are rooted in my observations of nature. A part of this includes exploring and developing the way in which I can paint more loosely to create a representation of visible reality. In my piece, "Sunset Over the Loch," I bring together aspects of my experimentation to create an abstract representation of the sun setting over a loch, using large brushstrokes of heightened colour to build up and suggest the transformative effects the sunset has on the landscape.
Silent Night, 2024- Ruby Oliver
Acrylic on canvas
Size: 40.6 cm x 50.8 cm (16 x 20 in)
The piece itself delves into the uncanny atmosphere of the night, encapsulating the alluring yet disturbing perception of the ocean's darkest hours. Its simplicity can bring peace but also a lingering sense of unease.
Anthropocene, 2024 - Meeyah Lawrence
Ink on Acetate
Size: 14cm x 21cm (5.8in x 8.3in) (18 pieces)
I wanted people to be aware of the natural effects of time, for example, the expected ecological erosion of the coastline. However, locally, as these images show, there is evidence of how humans have also had an effect through their direct actions on certain coastal areas. This is an example of the human impact, which has been enough for there to be a period in which human activity has started to have significant consequences on ecosystems on planet Earth.
Inclined Shadows - Dominykas Nojus Macionis
Photograph on Fabric
Size: 100 x 50 cm
This image was shot late in the evening using a longer exposure setting on the camera, aimed at the landscape. The image was printed onto cloth and hung up, draping off the wall, to symbolize letting go of something, breaking free from constraints to evoke a feeling of freedom, something that you can experience in exploring nature.
The Quiet Before the Storm, 2024 - Brigitte D’Angelo
Multimedia
This work depicts peace at Sizewell Beach, Suffolk, before the building of two new nuclear reactors. Sizewell is an area of special scientific interest; the construction of these reactors will turn it into the biggest construction site in Europe.
Untitled, 2024 - Olivia Reeves-Blampied
Acrylic on canvas
This striking image of the French Alps is painted with a vibrant shade of blue with white highlights. The pale sky evokes a sense of calm tranquillity, while the coruscating mountains give off a feeling of high energy. This setting had meaning for its role in friendship and memories of time spent together. This painting was done in acrylic using broad brushstrokes and elements of fine detail brushwork.

Bloom 2024 - Scarlett Dickins
A bright and lively flower scape, using acrylic painting and modelling paste mixer, employing a variety of techniques such as a palette knife, piping bags, my fingers, and a thick brush. This piece emulates how a hot summer day feels to me: bright, full of joy, and the beauty of nature.

Sunset (2024) - Cameron Davison
Glossy paper
My favourite thing to do is to look at the sunset, and I enjoy watching the beautiful pop of colours. I took a picture of this lovely view of the lake with the sunset, and I want to play with colour using editing to give a wow factor.
Size: 43cm to 61cm
Manipulation, 2024 - Kathryn Ellis
Mixed media on canvas
This piece is created with mixed media, including recycled fabrics, to display how a landscape can be manipulated by mankind. Despite the destruction we cause as humans, a landscape can still have an overpowering natural beauty about it.

Caterpillar In It’s Habitat, 2024- Tehya Spiers
Acrylic on paper
Size: A5
A zoomed-in view of a landscape. The caterpillar is part of the landscape, but is part of it that you could never see if you don’t look. This painting highlights a part of nature that is often hidden and not easily detected by the naked eye. Also, the caterpillar is seen exactly how it exists in nature, unaffected by the changes happening around it.
I am inspired by the detailed parts of nature, not just the big-picture effect. For example, individual leaves rather than a tree. This approach captures the aspects of nature that often go unnoticed or are unknown. I enjoy capturing close-ups of things we don’t usually see up close. Additionally, I like using colour to set the mood of the painting, and softer textures for the same reason
Hidden Dorset 2024 - Chelsea Nel
Acrylic paint
Size: 30 X 42
The coastlines of England are not often viewed as ideal holiday destinations, and their hidden gems often go unnoticed. This artwork is a tribute to Dorset's charming community and a place I associate with nature at its happiest. It reflects the care and love given to it by its small community. The piece is created using a combination of quick, thick brushstrokes to mimic the lush green fields, along with delicate strokes in tones of turquoise, light blues, and greens to represent the inviting water. Inspired by the impressionist artist Claude Monet, the piece plays with lighting and embraces pastel colour palettes. Monet's garden paintings influenced the choice of landscapes and fostered a love for incorporating abundant blues and greens into the artist's work.
