Zohreh Korangi: simplicity; lines; black and white; no colours; passion; love; desire; wishes; nature; mystery; silence; the subconscious. This typifies Zohreh and her drawings.

Pippa Nixon works in a variety of media including oil paint, pastel, ink, collage and photography. Her imagery is often figurative and includes birds and animals.
