MARCUS KRACKOWIZER

I am a British artist currently living in the UK although you can see a lot of influences from my travels, especialy Budapest and Thailand. I started painting full time 3 years ago and am finding my style creating more impressionist paintings. All my paintings are oil on canvas.

Many years ago I broke my neck although the limited use of my hands has little affect on the ideas I want to develop. For many of my paintings I only use palette knives although occasionally I get the brushes out. I enjoy the speed and impulse required for palette knives.

I have published 5 full size and 30 half size limited edition prints on canvas of many of my paintings in order to make them more affordable and create better exposure.

I look forward to any comments you may have and am happy to discus anything related to this site.

CHARLIE HOWARD

I’m a British artist who finds inspiration in a wide range of subjects, and there have been a couple of large influences on the technical style of my painting.  Firstly, I trained in drafting while qualifying in Landscape Design.  Secondly, many years ago I was a live-in care worker for a man with aphasia who was unable to write and could not express himself in words apart from ‘yes’ or ‘no’.  I would draw designs and images to represent different ideas, emotions and subjects in order to help us communicate better together.

TANYA LYALL

ArtOak is very pleased to present Tanya Lyall’s superbly crafted and elegantly designed Jewellery. Tanya first studied her craft at Middlesex University to degree level under the tutelage of Caroline Broadhead, Pierre Degen and Julia Mannheim. This helped break down the barriers of traditional jewellery design and by mixing silver and gold on the same piece, the result is a strong, contemporary yet chic style.

She lives in Essex, England and is also busy raising a family. If you wish to chat with her, please do get in touch.
