Ranga Jayaratne is an expressionist oil painter. Her work is deeply inspired by emotion, movement, and the mystery of imagined spaces.

I have had an interest in photography since I was young. I even tried developing my own prints in my early teens. About seven years ago, I joined Chelmsford Camera Club and, very soon, photography became an important part of my life. My favourite subjects to photograph are nature, sport, travel and, after a recent trip to Namibia, landscapes.

I’m an Essex-based landscape photographer, but my passion is landscape and astro-photography. Although I shoot local I like to travel as much as I can, whether its in the mountains or by the sea. Enjoy my photos.

From a very young age, I loved drawing. So much so that, it became my main focus at school. I was so sure that my career would be in art and, when I left school, went on to study graphic design in Glasgow.

Hello, my name is Karen. Drawing for me is calming and mediative and I particularly love to draw animals…. always gets me wondering what they might be thinking and feeling.

Hello, my name is Emma Emerson and I am the owner of Keepsakes and Portraits. I am a realism artist, specialising in pet, wildlife and human portraiture. I create drawings using coloured pencils, soft pastels and graphite pencils. 

I created my business because of my passion for drawing and the natural world. I get so much satisfaction every time I create a drawing and I wanted to create a business where I can share my passion to the world and capture memories for people that will remain as keepsakes forever.
