Jean Townsend (1921-2006)

Printmaker
Painter
Sculptor

"My work is figurative, dealing with people and their relationships with each other and with their surroundings. I have a keen interest in myth and legend and the effect it still has upon us...Much of my work is concerned with woman, not consciously but instinctively, out of a desire to communicate my own inner feelings as a woman, a wife, a mother and to express them on a universal level"

Saul Field (1912-1987)

Printmaker
Painter
Filmmaker

"I am fascinated by the many ways to use distortion, colour, and texture to better express a given theme, and to use abstract expressions in my backgrounds to heighten the mood or tempo of that theme. During the fifties, when the late Pearl McCarthy referred to me as a Symbolic Expressionist I was dubious about the designation. Now, as I look back over the years, I accept it as valid."
