Ghislaine and Cordelia Howard, Main Hall, 30th June to 28th July 2005

To celebrate the Women's Music Festival held this year at Blackburne House, Liverpool Ghislaine and Cordelia Howard will be showing a group of works specially created for the event. Ghislaine is an internationally acclaimed artist best known for her powerful evocations of shared human experience. She will be showing a suite of paintings that celebrate the power and magic of the dancer and the dance. Each painting shows a single dancer caught in movement or repose. Some of the pieces feature her daughter Cordelia who combines her art practice with her studies as an actor/musician. Cordelia is represented by a series of mysterious collages and a set of photographic prints which suggest a narrative that is at once enigmatic and poetic in nature. Cordelia is particularly pleased at being able to show here as both her grandmother and great aunt attended Blackburne House when it was a school.

Kelly's work evolves through observing human form, depicting models as seen through emotions encapsulating a specific moment in time. Having trained in embroidery she has sought to use traditional techniques in a contemporary way using textile techniques with unconventional materials, the traditional female craft of stich with masculine materials, assessing the representation of the female in a male dominated society.

‘Space Inhabited’ - Jacqueline Kerr. - In the Conference Hall
"The drawings and paintings in this exhibition visually map the houses and flats I have lived in, the places I’ve worked in and the cities I’ve travelled to.
The exhibition is a visual representation of a fragmented but continuous journey, that I’ve taken or anticipated, that is real or imaginary, through the space I have inhabited."

June 2006
Cathy Davis, Cafe Bar
Cathy's artwork is a fusion of fine art print making with illustration and visual communication. She is influenced by the art of non western civilisations, particularly African and  Aboriginal sculptures, prints and textiles. Through the use of bold flat colour, the rich use of pattern and simplification of form, Cathy strives to embrace and celebrate different cultures. She also aims to capture a sense of strength. elegance and unity within her work. The works displayed will be a mixture of gouache paintings, mono prints and lino-prints.

Lyn Ben - Yousef & Carol Traynor - Exhibition of works by the popular local printmakers
Feb 2007

Lynn Ben-Yousef is  a self taught artist, who after many years of figurative painting, naturally began to experiment with both medium and technique. Her work is based on land, environmental and spiritual issues in landscape, and her emotional response to landscape, and peoples place in it.

She is inspired by what she sees around her and uses natural materials & found objects in her work. She enjoys both the sculptural (collagraphs) and mark making qualities of printmaking. The process of printmaking, although labour intensive, is in its self, part of the emotional creativity of each piece.

Her work includes collagraphs, etchings, monoprints, screen prints and drypoint etching, frequently with more than one process layered upon another.

Carol Traynor has studied printmaking for 15 years and has exhibited throughout Lancashire and Liverpool. Her work includes mono prints, lino prints, and dry point etchings. She is very experimental and loves it when she discovers unplanned happy accidents of this wonderful art and the diverse effects that can be obtained. She enjoys recording in my own style the architecture and landscape of places both in this country and abroad.

Printmaking enables her to bring an abstract and contemporary view to her work with colour playing an important role, to illustrate this she uses a variety of media together with printmaking methods to bring depth, and form to her paintings.
