*Diane Maybey
Diane’s raw passion for love, life and journeys, are her inspiration. 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.’

*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).
She learned Korean and Chinese Painting at Koryo University, South Korea. Her art explores the immanent reordering that exists between inner experience and outer occurrence. Their nuanced discrepancy finds a provisional and evolving coherence in the interaction between the audience, writing and drawing.
