Oxton Artist will be exhibiting this year - Mark Wayne Barrett
Mark Wayne Barrett - An
Earl Grey and Lemon Puff fuelled Mad-Wirral-Bohemian artist/ illustrator
- and parallel sensitive, space gazing ambassador for universal peace
and harmony!
Other than that - who I am, where I've been and what I've done with my life so far - I'd rather leave to my tatty art efforts to explain... should they ever gain satisfactory completion of course! But, hey, life y'know... there's always so much to do isn't there? And it's all too short really...
To my mind the most important thing is to be nice to everyone and do what you can for the good of all things. Make sure you have lots of fun, while you can, but always remember to be careful and sensitive to everyone else. Regard every single person you meet, without exception, with the same respect you would wish to receive if you were in their shoes, and if you mess up, say sorry and keep on trying to do better! A perfectly simple sentiment that I hope shines through my work like a great big beautiful smile!!!

Oxton Artists exhibiting in 2011 _ Roger Sinek
Roger Sinek is from
Zimbabwe, and has been taking photographs with some serious intent since
aged 11. He originally came to Liverpool to study architecture and play
drums. These days he does personal work and undertakes commissions
between working at Tate Liverpool. He exhibits regularly with the Soup
collective and the Oxton Artists.
"I believe photographs are abstract, because freezing an instant is unnatural, and there are ways the camera sees things we cannot. I'm interested in essence and resonance. Seeking the universal in the ephemeral. I like ambiguity, to allow space for the imagination. There should be a remove from the literal, an image not a recording."

Oxton Artists exhibiting in 2011 - Patsy Taylor
Sewing and knitting have been a significant part of Patsy Taylor's
life for as long as she can remember. She has made things since she
could handle a needle, loving beautiful fabrics and wools for their own
sake and enjoying the process of transforming and shaping them into
something wearable or useful.

Oxton Artist exhibiting in 2011 - Janine Suggett
Janine Suggett (BA (Hons) Graphic Design & Illustration)
Oxton is where I've lived since 1983.
Art is very important to me - necessary and uplifting, other people's more than mine! The Fair is my fourth attempt at sharing my work with others.
I sit with pen and paper, not sure what comes first - a chicken and egg scenario. An idea, an object, a phrase that makes me smile. Little objects, symbols and forms with narrative held quietly within. Like sandcastles as the tide gets nearer.
I came to England to study illustration at Camberwell School of Art and Crafts in 1972; worked in publishing for several years; and moved to Oxton and brought up my three daughters. I now enjoy being a grandmother, although Poppy could easily take over my studio...
(speaking of Poppy, Poppy's Mum is one half of the catering company Chilli and Chive who will be doing the food over the weekend for the cafe)
