Borrow Our Wall Artists 2025

December / January 2025 - Inside / Outside

We are a group of artists who explore and respond to our surroundings in unique ways, influenced by our diverse life experiences, artistic inspirations and observations whether that be a place, an event, or elements such as colour, shape or atmosphere. Supporting each other’s art journeys, we meet regularly to share our practices, discuss challenges and explore processes that empower us to take greater risks, thereby enriching our individual artistic growth.

Our work embodies personal expressions, capturing moments from our lives or perhaps trying to convey the complexities of life itself. A painting is a construct of line, colour, shape and material but what you see on the surface, on the outside, has its basis in the artist’s personal response to the world. We use the title Inside/Outside to try to encompass this concept.

February - Andrew Jackson

"My work is mostly pencil on paper, mainly black and white, and largely illustrates travels, experiences and encounters from my own life. "

March - Libby Martina


Libby is a figurative artist, based in Leicester. She creates expressive and emotive fine art pieces with a focus on the human form. Libby loves to experiment with a range of materials, layering inks, pastels and even wax in mixed media pieces or exploring different textures and ways of markmaking in acrylics.

Libby is not afraid of colour, successfully harnessing an exuberant palette full of vivid pinks, rich oranges and vibrant blue. Finding joy in creating quickly and fluidly, Libby feels that accidents and ink drips only add to the beauty and energy of the finished piece.

April - Jade Webb

Jade is a multi-disciplinary textile artist based in Leicester. She specialises in weave with her main focus on using alternative natural fibres within her work, promoting sustainability and biodiversity.

Playing with pattern, warp and texture, Jade creates woven hanging often experimenting with geometric forms, ikat warps and how these respond with each other. Jade deliberately allows her process to develop in less controlled ways. She leaves in repeated or missed lines that would typically be unpicked and redone, she feels this creates interest and showcases the handmade nature of her work.

Horses, Abstracts and mythological themes are the main subjects of Louise’s oil paintings which are often large-scale works. She produces special edition prints of some of her originals.

Helen started to paint once she stopped working and has been painting for 12 years. Her style has been described as symbolist but lately she has been painting decaying buildings and scenes from life, being attracted to Italy in particular. She loves mediterranean and autumnal colours and paints in oils but also enjoys working in pastel and graphite. She has painted portraits, symbolic subjects, myths & fantasy. Helen says she loves to paint & now knows that she is not complete unless she can paint!



July -  Jodie Wilkins / Elizabeth Oldham



Jodie and Elizabeth are DMU photography students taking the opportunity to present their analogue film photography. They chose to present images that are representative of their individual photographic styles, with a focus on the contrast between man made and organic environments. The intricacies of architecture and floral photography complement each other and are reflective of their artistic practice.

September - Janet Thorton
I started painting about fifteen years ago after spending much of my life either composing music or singing. Enjoying the freedom and spontaneity painting gives me l strive to express energy as it moves and changes from moment to moment, very often without a preconceived plan or idea. A conversation in colour and form.

December / January 2026 - Christine Wigmore

Christina is a mixed-media artist/designer from Leicester UK. Her art and design process involves building layers of imagery, manipulated to create mixed media prints, collages and textile pieces. With a DIY/Punk attitude to creating from what you have to hand, re-using materials and use of experimental mixed-media processes, inspiration comes from what’s happening in society and the unexpected and absurd in life. Her work also explores emotional attachment to textiles, objects and place, the positive aspects of nostalgia and the sense of wellbeing experienced from reconnecting with treasured objects from the past.
