Judy Buxton was born in Australia and moved to the UK in the early 1980s. She graduated from Falmouth College of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. After marrying the artist Jeremy ANNEAR, with whom she shares a passion for music, she undertook a three-year postgraduate diploma in painting at the Royal Academy in London. The couple spent a number of years in Australia before returning to Cornwall in 1994 to settle on the Lizard peninsula.
In 1995, Buxton was granted full membership of the NSA, and in the same year became a visiting lecturer in Fine Art at Falmouth College of Art.
She has been a regular exhibitor at the Millennium Gallery in St Ives (now Anima-Mundi) and also at the Campden Gallery in Gloucestershire and the Thackeray Gallery in London. In 2005 she was awarded second place in the prestigious 25th anniversary Hunting Art Prize.

From 1947 to 1969 he taught at Epsom School of Art and Croydon College of Art, then retired to Cornwall, where he turned to painting full-time.
Cadman exhibited widely in London, and solo exhibitions of his work were held there and also in Surrey and Southampton.

Mentioned in Whybrow's 1911-20 list of artists in and around St Ives.
Listed in the 1841 Census for Kenwyn, Truro, as a 20 year old Artist living at Ferris Town and born in the County. Wood notes him as a London painter of historical and literary subjects some years later, when he exhibited at RA, BI and elsewhere.
Eddie Callis is a young 'outsider' artist on the autistic spectrum whose work includes landscapes, life drawing, portraits and ceramics. He works from KROWJI Studios, Redruth.
A long-time house painter and decorator with a difference, Callow, honing his considerable skills on life-size buildings in London and elsewhere (including a 2-year stint working on No 10, Downing Street), developed his architectural artistry by turning to landscape, cityscape and fascias in miniature. The miniature fascias are of buildings, barns, houses of international design including Shaker houses, New England and Mid-West American barns, as well as historic Bath frontages (Royal Crescent) and paintings of the Thames landscapes at evening and at dawn.
His pen, charcoal and pencil drawings are free-forms of geometric and technological features which ask complex questions of the viewer.
In 2007, Callow collaborated on the construction and decorative execution of the Dwellings Bookcase, working with the author Melissa HARDIE to create an installation work for the 'Exquisite Trove' exhibition at NAG (July-October, 2010). His studio is located in Redruth, Cornwall.
Calver, born in Kent, trained at St Martins and Winchester Schools of Art. His work has developed out of a concern with the affective and spatial qualities of colour. At first, reductive means were used to obtain a clear minimalist aesthetic. More recently, his work has shown a more complex use of shape and form. These elements have evolved, in a subterranean way, from his regular use of a sketchbook to draw directly from the localities in which he finds himself. In his artist's statement reproduced here he states that this is a practice that sharpens his attentiveness.
In 2003 and 2005 Calver was awarded 'Grants for the Arts' by the Arts Council England, and in 2007 he was in receipt of a Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant.
He has exhibited widely in the UK and also in Germany and Dubai. Print, paintings and drawings have been exhibited recently at The Exchange in Penzance and at the artist led Bucca Gallery in Newlyn.
A painter of semi-abstract works on canvas, Susan Camburn works from a studio in Falmouth.
Janie Cameron describes herself as a coastal artist. Her paintings are inspired by her walks on the south west coastal path near her home and studio. A teacher of art and masters level coach, she incorporates mindfulness practice into her art sessions.
She has undertaken courses at the Newlyn School of Art and has studied on the year-long Porthmeor Programme at St Ives School of Painting. In 2023 she joined Prime Women Artists, a supportive and creative network for women artists of all disciplines in Cornwall. Her work has been exhibited in Cornwall and Yorkshire.
Kate Cameron is a painter based in St Ives. In 2022 she joined Taking Space, a group of women artists.
Working in St Ives from 1913-14, Cameron lived with his wife at Ar Lyn, Lelant. Though mentioned in Whybrow as visiting between 1901-10 (implying some time spent in the area) and in the St Ives Times, he is not listed in the usual major listings of artists, so no additional information is available at present.
Famous Victorian photographer and great-aunt of artist Vanessa Stephen BELL and author Virginia Stephen WOOLF. Photographs were taken by Cameron in Cornwall, who also recorded the Stephens family during summers at Talland House, St Ives (and London).
Virginia Woolf later wrote a play Freshwater, based on the bohemian lifestyle of Cameron and friends on the Isle of Wight. Her home, Dimbola, is now maintained by the National Trust in her name.
In the 1891 Census for Halsetown, just outside St Ives, a Mary Lovett Cameron is listed as living at North Terrace (back of), the single head of household, aged 42, an author, born Wavertree, Lancashire. (The artist had arrived in St Ives from Ireland by 1891, a great deal longer an established resident than suspected previously.)
She rented a studio and wrote articles about art, and in 1913 was the author of Umbria, Past & Present. In the summers she sailed to Brittany with the fishermen and rented a studio for the season. Having joined the Arts Club in St Ives, she was successful in getting some recognition for women artists: the rules were amended to provide the exclusive use for ladies on Tuesday and Thursday evenings. In 1918 she was elected the Librarian of the Club, the first woman to hold that office. Mary Lovett CAMERON is one of the signatories of the Glanville Letter (1898).

Zoe Cameron studied art at Maidenhead College (1975-7) and Gloucestershire College of Art & Design, Cheltenham (1977-80). In Cornwall she lectured at the Falmouth School of Art, continuing the exhibiting she had begun with the Cheltenham Group at the Cheltenham Art Gallery. She also showed work at Cirencester.
In St Ives she had solo shows at the Salthouse Gallery, and joined the NSA (remains a member 2009), showing work regularly at NAG. Her work has also been exhibited at the Rainyday Gallery, Penzance. Cameron's easily recognisable paintings are evocative of the human condition in all its various manifestations, offered with wit and political savvy. She often depicts herself or the face that 'haunts' her.
Cameron's highly acclaimed interpretations of the 'Stations of the Cross' were on view in 2013 in Truro Cathedral.
In October 2016 an enormous painting by Cameron depicting the vision of St Michael was unveiled at All Saints Church in Marazion. The commission, which includes 12 additional smaller images on the theme of pilgrimage, took three years to complete.
A painting by this artist, entitled Laetitia and a Cornish Tin Mine (1967) is included in the collection of Cornwall County.

She also spent time at Hornsey School of Art. After teaching in London and working at Harefield Hospital (1940-1946) she married and moved to Newlyn, where she settled and raised a family.
Later, when she had more time to devote to painting, she focused on abstracts based on windows and doors as well as old family photogrphs. Her work was shown at the Chenil Gallery in the 1970s and at Newlyn Orion Gallery in the 1980s. In 1985 she held a solo show at Penzance Arts Centre.
