Hannah Tometzki works under the studio name The Chemist’s Daughter, a nod to her upbringing in a family-run pharmacy in rural Wales where shelves of coloured pills and glass beakers first sparked her fascination with hue and form. Today, based in a light-filled studio near Cardiff, she creates abstract paintings that fuse geological observation with emotional memory, producing canvases that feel like stratified sunsets compressed under glass.

Working primarily in acrylic and resin, Tometzki pours, drags and pools layers of translucent pigment, allowing each coat to semi-cure before adding the next. Titanium white is forced through wet ultramarine to create marble-like veins, while powdered copper and bronze settle into fissures that catch gallery spotlights like seams of precious ore. The final high-gloss resin seals the topography, giving the surface the depth and clarity of a polished gemstone viewed under a microscope.

Colour choices are instinctive yet grounded in place: ochres and rusts echo the iron-rich soil of Welsh quarries, acid greens recall copper runoff she saw while hiking abandoned mines, and sudden flashes of rose mirror the Himalayan salt lamps that lined her childhood dispensary. Each piece is titled after geological strata or pharmaceutical compounds, reinforcing the link between earth science and personal healing.

Recent exhibitions at Kooywood Gallery Cardiff and The Workers Gallery Ynyshir have sold out, while commissions have transformed hospital reception areas and private residences into calming portals of colour. Whether working on a metre-wide canvas or a small resin tile, Tometzki seeks the fragile moment when pigment, gravity and memory solidify into a lasting record of transformation, reminding viewers that beauty often emerges where chemistry and emotion collide.

Ima Pico 'Bouba 14' Original Available

Artist: Ima Pico
Title: Bouba 14
Medium: Acrylic Original
Size: 23 x 23 cm
Edition: UNIQUE
Prices: £50

 

Ima Pico is a Spanish born visual artist now based in Manchester, United Kingdom, where she creates vibrant geometric abstractions that pulse with Mediterranean warmth and urban edge. After earning a Fine Arts degree from the Polytechnic University of Valencia, she relocated to England and established Ima Pico Studio, a workspace that doubles as a laboratory for colour, form and digital experimentation. Her practice spans painting, screen print and installation, all united by a fascination with hard edged shapes and bold, saturated hues.

Pico begins each composition with hand cut stencils and vector sketches, translating angular silhouettes into layered arrangements of coral, turquoise, sunflower and emerald. These blocks of colour interlock like abstract architecture, suggesting city skylines, festival bunting or fragments of memory viewed through stained glass. She often works on a small scale first, producing mini canvases and paper editions that invite close inspection, then expands the same visual language into larger wall pieces and immersive environments.

Recent series explore media saturation and sensory overload, using repetition and gradient shifts to echo the endless scroll of digital feeds. Despite the crisp geometry, her process remains intuitive; she sands edges, adds gestural marks and allows under-painting to peek through, ensuring each piece retains a human pulse.

Exhibitions at Artelista and group shows across Valencia and Manchester have sold out, while commissions have brightened co-working spaces and private homes throughout the North West. Whether printing a limited edition or painting a full wall, Pico approaches every surface with the same goal: transform abstract form into pure joy and remind viewers that colour, when arranged with conviction, can feel as alive as any landscape.

Karoline Rerrie 'Pretty Pair' Print Available

Artist: Karoline Rerrie
Title: Pretty Pair
Medium: 3 Color Screen Print
Size: (A4) 21 x 29.7 cm
Edition: 17
Prices: £35

Karoline Rerrie is a Birmingham based illustrator and printmaker who has spent more than a decade transforming folk motifs into vivid screen printed celebrations. Born in the Midlands, she grew up surrounded by local craft fairs and community festivals, an upbringing that instilled a love of pattern, story and shared making. After studying illustration she dedicated herself to hand pulled print processes, building a practice that balances meticulous design with the happy accidents that occur when ink meets mesh.

Her visual language is built on three pillars: bold black outlines, bright flat colour and repeat pattern. She begins each piece with loose pencil sketches of flowers, birds or interlocking shapes, then refines the drawing into separations that can be cut from rubylith or painted directly onto screen. Layers of fluorescent pink, turquoise and sunflower yellow are printed onto recycled papers, creating final images that feel both contemporary and timeless. Recent editions depict ornate songbirds perched among geometric blossoms, their wings echoing the rhythm of traditional Eastern European textiles.

Rerrie sells original prints, greetings cards and zines through local markets and online shops, keeping prices accessible so that original art can travel beyond gallery walls. She also runs popular screen print workshops, guiding newcomers to mix colour, pull squeegees and discover the joy of imperfect registration. Exhibitions at Birmingham Open Studios, Art in the Park Leamington and the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists have sold out, while commissions have brightened hospital corridors and independent cafés across the city.

Whether teaching, printing or sketching on the train, Rerrie approaches every surface with the same goal: spread colour, share pattern and remind viewers that beauty can be handmade, affordable and full of heart.
