Wildwood Artists was set up by Liz Hauck in 2017 bringing together a group of artists who were seeking to develop their art practice through sharing ideas and expanding their skills. The core of the teaching programme is expressive art with an emphasis on painting and drawing freely, tapping into memories and feelings.

Liz’s creative vision for the group....to offer the artists...

  • Stimulating and practical art learning – exploring art concepts, skills and practices

  • Support and encouragement in finding and developing their own way of making art.

  • Experimentation with a range of different art mediums and materials

  • Learning from other artists, contemporary and historical, famous and not so famous

  • The opportunity to exhibit their work in group exhibitions

Our group values ensure a positive environment within which to learn.

  • Supportive – working together for the benefit of all 

  • Enabling – giving others in the group help and encouragement.

  • Generous – happy to share ideas, discoveries and techniques.

  • Experimental – open to new and different ways of making art.

  • Brave – prepared to be bold and go beyond our comfort zone.

The group holds two online workshops each month. The ‘Sharing’ sessions give the artists constructive feedback and insight into how others respond to their work. 

‘Learning’ sessions focus on a subject of special interest combining an exploration of art concepts with practical exercises. Exploring new ideas about art whilst making art together encourages play and experimentation.

The Wildwood Artists initiated and now organise the In My Mind Eye exhibitions. Helped and supported by invited guest artists the Wildwood Artists work tirelessly to create exhibitions which support and showcase talented aspiring and established artists
