John Maltby is recognised as one of the countrys finest ceramic artists, his figures and creatures holding a wit and profundity that reflect the human condition and are inextricably linked to the English landscape and experience. My work continues to draw its inspiration from the Englishness of my experience. Although many of the subjects re-appear, I place them both in a traditional continuum, yet relevant to my contemporary condition. Peter Jackmans works interpret landscapes and objects within the landscape in a semi-abstract form. His images portray a personal reaction to a place, in addition to elements of the actual scene. Peters work is created by layers of drawing and with graphite, pastels and chalk. These layers are cut through by scratching, scraping and overdrawing to create a complex surface.

Clare Willard
Clare Willards work has evolved through an eclectic background covering anthropology, textiles, public art and print. The binding force is an indomitable passion for colour and pattern. She makes hand constructed, one off and limited edition pieces, assembled with a palette of coloured laminate and wood. Work is tailored to the small and intimate, or scaled up to produce striking architectural installations. A constantly evolving visual language transforms the materials into an unusual and eloquent vehicle for colour and line.

Jane Muir specialises in idiosyncratic hand painted figures representing a witty and uncluttered observation of the world. Figures that stand alone or placed in an architectural landscape are hand modelled, allowing her the freedom to sketch with clay and develop ideas during the making process. Janes figures are not about specific individuals but are a character. Her work has been exhibited widely throughout the UK, Europe, America and Japan.

Each year the exhibition showcases a variety of artwork created in the region. Votes were counted from the Surrey Artists Open Studios summer event and the artists with the most votes have been invited to showcase their work as a part of the exhibition. The public are asked to vote again during the show to choose their three favourite artists. The winning artist will be announced on 25 October and awarded a solo exhibition and a cash prize. The Surrey Artist of the Year is supported by the Patricia Baines Trust.
