Binu Chaudhary
As an abstract artist, Binu honours memory, sense of place, and the beauty of the environment. Her emotive works evoke the experience of being within a landscape and express a deep sense of belonging through connection to place.
Her expressive paintings are rooted in memories of her childhood in India and shaped by her journey across continents throughout her adult life.
She began painting around 20 years ago with renowned artist Astrid Dahl, who encouraged her to paint from her gut, unabashedly. Over the years, her style has evolved, as has the media she works with, but abstraction has remained the common thread.
She is enthralled by the spontaneity of mark-making, using a variety of tools alongside pencils, charcoal, pastels, and pigments. This process aligns closely with the themes she explores, where layer upon layer is built up and then scratched back to reveal history beneath the surface. She values the depth this technique brings to her work, allowing her to communicate her inner voice.
She has exhibited at Manchester Art Fair, Art Surrey Epsom, Contemporary Art Fair Esher, and Windsor and Weybridge Art Festival. Binu is co-founder of BlueHouse Artspace, a working art gallery in Esher, UK. Her work is held in private collections in the UK, US, Singapore, and India.

KC Crompton
KC’s oil paintings are primal and immediate, exploring relationship to self, body, and family through gestural abstraction and semi-figurative form. Her work is informed by female myth and archetype, and by an embodied process of discovery.
As an aphantasic artist, with no internal visual imagery or visual memory recall, story, emotion, and the physicality of painting are central to KC’s process.
KC’s longstanding search for meaning and understanding informed her earlier professional career as a psychotherapist working with survivors of trauma. A belief in the transformational power of relationship and the human spirit continues to underpin her worldview and her approach to making art.
She invites the viewer to complete the work through their own process of meaning-making — to interpret and respond. Collectors experience the work as expressive, powerful, and emotionally resonant.
KC is co-founder of BlueHouse Artspace, . She is a mentor for Creative Shift, an online creative mind programme, and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts. She lives between Surrey, UK, and Andalucía, Spain, with her husband, and walks the land with her canine companion, Bentley.
Her artwork is held in private collections across the United Kingdom, Europe, and the United States..

Parul of the Sea
“There is joy, awe and at times a sense of loss in my relationship to the living world. The recurrence in nature that creates pattern also creates calm. In my continuous exploration of this phenomenon I seek an affinity with nature. Moments of light expose a sense that the connection to nature we covet as humans is a connection to ourselves. Through my work I am reminded in waves of realisation, that we are nature. I invite the viewer to consider their own relationship with and place with in nature.”
Parul is a contemporary environmental artist and co-founder of BlueHouse Artspace. Her artwork is in local and international collections.

Mary-Ann Lord
Mary Ann is an abstract artist working mainly in acrylic and mixed media but also enjoys working with watercolour. She has been painting for a long time but more consistently in the last ten years.
Mary Ann’s work reflects her experimental approach to her art testing out different approaches and styles.
Her work is influenced by her observations of the shapes, colours and textures of day-to-day objects as well as those found in nature. Her work is intuitive and draws on memories of the feelings and emotions experienced when in open, wild and empty landscapes. Work may take many layers before it feels finished.
Mary Ann has undertaken a number of courses including those with Lewis Noble, Louise Fletcher and Nicholas Wilton (Creative Visionary Programme). She is a member of Lewis Noble’s Project Group and Louise Fletchers Art Tribe .

Karen Osborne
Karen studied the history of art and fine art at De Montfort University, Leicester. After a career as a Creative Director in the stills photography industry, she re-established herself as an artist in her home studio in Surrey in 2019.
Working largely in acrylic and mixed media, Karen works intuitively to create expressive, colourful, energetic works on canvas, board and paper. She has developed a fluid semi-abstract style, with expressive mark making and the balance of line, mark and colour as her foundation.
Karen takes her inspiration from nature in all its forms; from the detail of a single garden flower to the wild sweep of countryside and coast. Her fascination with the beauty of the world informs her work. Subverting the way that we see nature by abstracting and removing detail, she makes us stop and focus on the energy of a place.
Karen is a member of both the United Art Space and Louise Fletcher’s Art Tribe. She was longlisted in the 2023 and 2024 VAO Art Prize, and was a finalist in the 2023 Women in Art Awards.
