Colour, emotion and movement are themes throughout her work. Her art can be found worldwide and whilst in Warwickshire you can discover her creations within the intimacy of the local cafés, tearooms and restaurants, some of Diane’s favourite places. ‘Find me a space and I’ll paint it.’ Jennine Parker  Jennine's work expresses a passion to create movement, shape and texture in a figurative and abstract form, Jennine will be working on a life size plaster sculpture during the open studio two weeks, also on show are original paintings, sketches and silkscreens printed onto fabric, metal and bespoke furniture.  Elena Cecchinato Elena Cecchinato was born in Venice in 1974 and studied in Italy before graduating from the School of Oriental and African Studies (University of London).

Their nuanced discrepancy finds a provisional and evolving coherence in the interaction between the audience, writing and drawing.
