An exhibition by the highly appreciated local painter and teacher Jeremy Taylor, alongside a selection of work by his former students, who together illustrate the creativity that lies hidden in many of us.<\/p>\n
Baildon-based Jeremy taught for many years for Bradford and Shipley Colleges, as well as running his own classes. He led workshops and did demonstrations for many art clubs in Keighley, Bingley and Wharfedale, but some years ago had to retired from teaching when his wife, Sara, became seriously ill, Jeremy has recently returned to painting and the new show will feature new work, as well as paintings completed in his famously popular oil and watercolour classes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Pam Brumby<\/h4>\n
It\u2019s perhaps a feature of classes such as Jeremy\u2019s that those who were already experienced painters chose to continue to attend despite reaching an advanced state of competence. Pam Bumby was actually an art teacher in her own right, but found the group\u2019s beneficial and enjoyable. In the exhibition Pam is showing a selection of works in her current medium, oils and loves the challenge of painting outside. \u201cI’m inspired by the changing light on the landscape, and by how it affects atmosphere and colour. I’m particlurly drawn to places where there’s evidence of the people who lived there, the industrial and coastal towns and villages of Yorkshire.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ann Allan![\"\"](\"http:\/\/davidstarleyartist.com\/bingley\/wp-content\/uploads\/Anne-Allen-photo-200x300.jpg\")
<\/a><\/h4>\nAnne\u00a0 describes her art, and the classes she attended before Jeremy\u2019s as \u2018just dabbliing\u2019. but then signed up to one by him and continued for 15 years loving every one, learning much and gaining in confidence with every lesson. \u00a0Her art took a new direction when she took up Chinese brush painting and calligraphy, even attending a course at the International Academy of Art in Hangzhou, China. She is a founder member of the Yorkshire Group of the Chinese Brush Painters Society, of which she is Secretary and Co-Chairman. Anne has also moved into teaching; running workshops and demonstrations to art groups throughout the north of England and enjoys passing on her love of Chinese art. \u00a0For Anne, lockdown proved to be a fruitful period, allowing her to complete the text and fifty plus illustrations for a recently published book on the techniques involved in the traditional gongbi or meticulous style of Chinese painting.<\/p>\n
A selection of 28 further unmounted original paintings are available at \u00a350 each<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\nDenise\u00a0primarily considers her-self\u00a0to be a tonal painter and is\u00a0hugely inspired by the effects of light & nature. After leaving school, she attended Bradford Art College and went on to work within the fields of exhibition and printing and later left to dedicate her time to raising her young family. Luckily, she came across Jeremy\u2019s art classes held at Shipley College which proved to be a\u00a0very inspiring and stimulating experience. \u201cHe\u2019s such a wonderful teacher and very talented artist\u2026 in my opinion an absolute treasure!\u201d<\/p>\n
She has gone on to exhibit across the UK including the Bradford Open, National Exhibition of Wildlife and with The Society of Wildlife Artists at the prestigious Mall Galleries, in London.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\nOne of the recurrent themes that Jeremy\u2019s students relate is that his enthusiasm was never tightly focussed on his own style and he was most happy when students took their own direction, buoyed by the belief in the own ability that he radiated. \u00a0Since attending Jeremys classes, Leeds-based Kate Readman\u2019s enthusiasm for art has led to work in different media: Following a chance encounter with a felter in Cumbria, she has transferred her passion from watercolour to that media, even to the extent of hand dying her wool at home. Her subject matter is mainly landscapes, particularly the wilder countryside outside the city, which is beautifully rendered in soft hues of paint or wool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
