Jo Garlick – Artist

Jo is a North Yorkshire artist who has lived in the Yorkshire Dales all her life and is fascinated by all elements of the natural world, especially wildlife. She works predominantly in soft pastels and loves the versatility that the medium offers. With the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors on her doorstep she has a wealth of inspiration on offer and uses the medium to create vibrant pictures, not only of British wildlife but also of a broad spectrum of landscapes inspired by the character and heritage of the area.

Lynn Ward – Artist

Being born and bred in Yorkshire, Lynn’s artwork is strongly inspired by her stunning surroundings. She mostly uses acrylic or oil in her work which is primarily landscapes but not the traditional ‘view’.

“I am drawn to contrasts whether it be stormy skies or shapes and shadows created by a gate or a stonewall of which the Dales provide in abundance.”
