Basma Ashworth
Cornwall, UK
Go to this artist
A Colourist, Painter and textile artist.
The brilliant combination of colour, light, texture, translucency and line are central aspects of her work. As a Cornwall artist she draw inspiration from the surrounding landscape and unique natural light.
Her work is always related to the process of painting rather than the image. The artwork emerges from the interaction of marks she make on the surface with the colours and textures she uses.

Soody is an Iranian/American artist based in Houston. Her work primarily deals with the paradoxes and contradictions inherent in living between two cultures. In many of her series, she has explored the notion of identity and what it means to participate in two cultures from both an outsider’s and an insider’s perspective. Through different series, she investigates this concept as it applies to Moslem youth in Iran and US and their emerging concept of self-identity specifically how they accommodate modernity and the indulgences and exploration specific to youth within a very traditional society.

Texas, USA
Go to this artist
Born in 1952 in Laredo, TX. Lives and works in Dallas, TX
Winston is a restless innovator and explorer of textures, colors, and space. For the last two years, he has been preoccupied with the relationship between music and bias-relief encaustic paintings. He has experimented with an endless array of possibilities and potentialities, capturing in wax both the chance encounters and the metered structures of life, love, music, and art. Through works on paper and, more recently, large-scale installations, he continue to use mark making with encaustic as a way to instigate a conversation about beauty, order and harmony.
