Sue Henderson
I have been a keen artist for the last 30 years, embracing many
different kinds of medium; oils, watercolour, acrylics and
pastel.
Lesley lives in Bethersden and has been drawing and painting
for over 15 years. She has exhibited in and around Kent and in
Greece. She is particularly interested in still life, including
flowers, shells and trees. She uses different mediums, such as
graphite, watercolour and occasionally acrylic, which reflect
light and shade. Her art seeks to portray the essence of the
subject matter through the use of fluid strokes and different
mediums. She always seeking to explore new ways of
expressing her loe of nature and the world around her.
Elizabeth Jemmet
Elizabeth trained at Eastbourne School of Art and then worked
as a graphic designer for a publishers in London.
Since moving to Kent, over 40 years ago, she has exhibited her
paintings and lino cuts in local galleries and regularly taken

Anna Calder-Marshall
Keenly invovled in village life Anna has lived in
Bethersden for 53 years. She painted from an early age
and is without any formal training. She has worked
extensively in TV, Theatre and Film. Anna has always
drawn on scripts and will paint on anything; wood,
glass, materials, walls etc. She is married to David
Burke and with her son Tom Burke, she considers
herself fortunate to share the joy of acting with family,
as well as a generation of some of the finest actors.
Christine is a highly eclectic artist with a holistic ethos and
oeuvre that encompasses many genres and mediums. She
describes herself as “eclectic, hectic, peptic and occasionally
septic!”. Her work is influenced by a love of patterns in science
and nature but also realism (being somewhat of a Renaissance
girl at heart). Christine obtained a ‘mature’ Fine Art BA in 2010
and is currently working towards an MA in History and
Philosophy of Art. She delights in being mercurial in her
artistic aspirations and further describes herself as…
“Artist, interested in everything!” …which is probably very
nearly true!

David Lewing
Painting is a much loved hobby for me. I try to use what little
skill I have to the fullest. I like to portray surrounding
buildings and landscapes in this area, which thereby establishes
a record, which can be viewed later, to note various changes
that have occurred, maybe due to development or improvement
over the years. I also like to attempt to recreate some earlierr
artists work bringing it to a bigger audience which otherwise
goes unseeen or forgotten. I am completely self taught and use
a variety of mediums; eg. oil, watercolour and acrylic but tend
to favour oil.
Art gives me real joy, not only creating art but also seeing how
other artists make marks on their canvas. My art of late has
been an iimmersion into the shapes, colours and textures of the
natural world. So the sky’s the limit really, in all senses of the
word!.
We are lucky to have such a great local artist community here.
