Artists

Terance James Bond - Kersey, Suffolk. Britain's best-loved bird artist, Terry was born in 1946 and raised on a Suffolk farm where he developed his interest in wildlife and the countryside. He has been a professional bird painter for 40 years, living and working in Suffolk throughout his career. A Bond With Birds is the fifth book featuring his highly detailed paintings of British birds.

Glynn Thomas - Capel St Mary, Suffolk. Born in Cambridge in 1946, Glynn attended Cambridge Art School during the creative 1960s, acquiring the drawing and print-making skills that would lead him to teach at Ipswich School of Art and later support a professional career as an intaglio printmaker in Suffolk. His detailed and highly original take on the towns, villages and landscapes of East Anglia and more distant locations has won him many fans. East Anglia - A Different Perspective is the first book to reproduce a large cross-section of his extensive portfolio, proving so successful that it went to a second edition.

Michael Coulter - Woodbridge, Suffolk. Watercolour artist Michael Coulter is the former Head of Art at Suffolk’s Woolverstone School, working there for 21 years until early retirement in 1987 allowed him to pursue his career as a full-time painter. Michael works from field sketches and photographs taken on location. After the basic composition, he will layer in the details that make his work so easy to identify. He isn’t striving for perfection, but the picture must feel right. Our book Coulter’s Countryside reproduces more than 150 paintings spanning his career A second title Coulter's Coast was published in late 2018 and features his paintings of seaside towns, beaches, harbours and estuaries.

Brian Lewis - Sheringham, Norfolk. Brian decided to ‘paint Norfolk’ in the early 1990s, bringing his Royal Academy-honed artistic skills to bear on Walsingham and Wells-next-the-Sea. Buyers of his work wanted the sun to shine and the sky to be blue, resulting in a vast portfolio of popular locations featuring his ‘Lowrey-esque’ figures, running dogs and stylised birds. The 165 different images reproduced in Blue Skies and Boat Trips represent a small part of an epic portfolio created over two decades.

Mary Gundry - Blythburgh, Suffolk. Mary has a strong connection with the Suffolk seaside town of Southwold. Not only has she painted it for more than two decades, but has owned a gallery on the High Street and once had her own cherished beach hut facing the sea. Unlike visiting artists, who record the town only at its seasonal peak, Mary has been able to paint the most familiar places in all weathers and throughout the year. This is just one distinguishing feature of the portfolio captured in Drawn to Southwold.

Margaret Glass - Barking, Suffolk. Margaret is recognised as one of the leading Pastellists of today. She is a past Vice-President of La Société des Pastellistes de Françe and a member of the English Pastel Society. In recent years she has also built up a growing reputation as a talented oil painter, able to capture the light with the same facility as in her pastels. Our book, Light Through Glass, reprodues 153 of her pastels and oils, covering East Anglian marine scenes and landscapes, Venice, interiors and floral themes.

H J Jackson - Norwich, Norfolk. John Jackson was born in 1938 in Kings Lynn and lived in a railway house at Harbour Junction beside the main Kings Lynn to London line. In 1953 he cut his first piece of lino that helped him secure a place at the Norwich School of Art. In 1995 the opportunity arose to pursue printmaking full time. This has allowed him to increase the volume of new work and a representative selection from his vast portfolio is included in his first book. A second book, A Printmaker's Christmas, was published in late 2016 and features the artist's three decades of handmade Christmas card designs.

Michael Warren - Winthorpe, Notts. Michael Warren has combined his twin passions of birdwatching and painting since he was a boy. He studied at Wolverhampton College of Art, and had his first solo exhibition in 1972. He is Treasurer of the Society of Wildlife Artists, and President of Nottinghamshire Birdwatchers. Taking Flight - the birds of Langford Lowfields was published by Mascot Media in July 2014 and reproduces 15 years of extraordinary sketches from the RSPB's new East Midlands reserve. 

Andrew Haslen – Preston St. Mary, Suffolk. Author of The Winter Hare, founder of the (now closed) Wildlife Art Gallery in Lavenham and respected wildlife artist, Andrew has developed an immediately recognisable form of linocut that is combined with watercolour to great effect. His technique, initial drawings, watercolour paintings and finished prints appear in Halcyon, launched by Mascot Media in October 2014. 

Roger Cockram - Chittlehampton, Devon. Barnstaple-born, Roger’s formative years saw him drawn to the science of the sea, studying Marine Ecology at the University of London’s marine laboratory in Portsmouth. Postgraduate research and teaching helped develop further his love for and understanding of marine life, but he eventually turned his back on science and academia to learn the skills of the studio potter under the guidance of the late Mick Casson and other influential figures at Harrow School of Art. In His Element showcases his marine-inspired pots that have won him an international following.

Harry Becker (1865-1928) - Wenhaston, Suffolk. Becker was a remarkable artist of the late Victorian and Edwardian period, applying an impressionistic approach to rural subjects and compiling an unrivalled record of life and hard labour in the Suffolk countryside around the time of the Great War. The 2013 book Harry Becker's Suffolk takes the form of an artist's sketchbook and reproduces many previously unpublished sketches and drawings from his 15 years in the Blyth Valley.

Robert Chaplin - Ludham, Norfolk. A graphic design graduate of Great Yarmouth College of Art & Design, Robert retired from a career in advertising to the Norfolk Broads and began producing highly original ink, pastel and crayon interpretations of local landmarks and scenes. Southwold, Great Yarmouth, the Broads and North Norfolk form the main chapters of the first collection of Robert's work in book-form, entitled Landmarks - The East Anglian Art of Robert Chaplin. Robert sadly lost his long battle with heart disease in June 2016.

David Measures (1937-2011). Arguably the greatest British butterfly painter, David declined to sell any of his remarkable paintings and sketches of his beloved insects during his lifetime. He had a dream of seeing every species of British butterfly published in a book featuring his field notes and images. His observations of butterfly behaviour are unrivalled and he captures the shape, colour and movement of the insects with a unique style, working only in the field. In July 2016 we are proud to have published Kaleidoscope - The Secret Lives of Britain's Butterflies.

London-based painter and printmaker Gail Brodholt has spent more than 15 years producing colourful art that celebrates London's railways, Tube system, Soho streets and major roads. Her work shows people travelling to and from their places of work or pleasure. Each linocut prints reproduced here tells a story of departures and destinations. There is plenty of detail in her majestic panoramas of Paddington, Victoria and Liverpool Street, but Gail also produces smaller and more intimate studies of passengers on platforms or on the trains themselves. More than 100 of her prints are featured in Gail Brodholt's Art of Travel.

Carry Akroyd (Northants) is a wildlife and landscape painter and printmaker. Our book Found in the Fields captures the breadth of Carry’s interest in the landscape. At its core is her lithograph series ‘Found in the Fields’, sixteen images incorporating words from the poet John Clare, a recurring theme in her work. In her painting and printmaking Akroyd portrays landscapes both familiar and re-imagined, finding wildlife and nature around the margins of agribusiness. Throughout, her enjoyment of colour and sense of composition combine productively with her eye for bird life and botany. This book brings together the persistent threads in her work over a period of years, revealing through the range of media employed all the motifs that evolve as her own personal symbolism for change and continuity in the countryside.

Jonathan Yule is a Norfolk-based artist with a love of the land and the animals that populate it. He grew up in the Tendring Hundred of Essex; and, as a young man, worked on the land, tending cattle and sheep. Jonathan studied farm management at Writtle and Sparsholt. However, his burgeoning artistic talent and love of nature began to steer him in a different direction, and he realised eventually that what he wanted to do was to paint full time. He has lived in the Breckland area of Norfolk for 40 years, and his work is inspired by his immediate surroundings, by his beloved north Norfolk coast, and by the raw beauty of wild areas such as the Pennines and Scotland. A book entitled UNDER A COLOUR-WASHED SKY was published in September 2019.
