It Matters
I am deeply saddened and disturbed by the recent death of George Floyd in America, and my heart goes out to his friends, family and community. No one should endure this violence and the violation of their human rights.
Q&A with Mary Jones
Mary Jones' characterful ceramic sculptures have been part of KMA collections since 2013. Her works are playful, with a childlike quality that is rarely captured in an artist's work. The expressions portrayed in her pieces appear simple.
Q&A with Rik Ward
Rik Ward's artworks were recommended to me by a client. I invited him to submit works, and when I saw then, I was blown away.
Q&A with Sabina Pieper
Sabina Pieper's opulent artworks represent formidable women, inspired by the Tudor period, yet her approach is contemporary and unique. She incorporates imagery such as electrical items, insects and nature, combining all this with her mixed media techniques.

Life at the moment seems somewhat surreal. It wasn't long ago when life was different for us all. Moving forward, it will have changed us all too.
Q&A with David Hayward
David is one of our much loved and sought after artists at KMA. His visceral, tactile and sumptuous paintings hold a depth of meaning. He considers himself to be an abstract painter, despite his use of bright and opulent colours conveying sunsets and many elements of land and waterscapes that inspire him.
