Mervyn Tay
Hello I'm Merv...and I like ewe...
Mervyn is a Yorkshire based artist who uses his canvas to share the free-spirited, joyful side of life. His whimsical and quirky paintings of sheep, each tells a stand-alone story inspired by clever wordplay. Mervyn’s ideas are mostly influenced through pop culture with echoes of his cheeky persona. Rather than taking a serious approach to art, Mervyn prefers to make humour the focus and delivers that through comical interpretations of sheep in the funniest of situations.
When not painting sheep, Mervyn also experiments with expressing his emotions in the form of vibrant and colourful abstracts that are equally as engaging as his flock of sheep.
Mervyn's works can be found in collections throughout the United Kingdom and internationally. He can occasionally be seen showcasing his flock in various events in the north of England. Mervyn now paints professionally as a full-time artist in York, North Yorkshire.

His paintings are inspired by the land and sea of the Yorkshire county.
Views of coastal seaside towns and harbour villages, rustic rural settings with nature in all it’s glory are all influences for his paintings.
Exploring the Yorkshire countryside or by the sea he collects ideas capturing the essence of that particular landscape in light, colour and composition, then returning to the Studio inspired by what he has seen ideas are sketched out ready for painting.
Jo Garlick
Jo has lived in the Yorkshire Dales all her life and is fascinated by all elements of the natural world, especially wildlife. She works predominantly in soft pastels and loves the versatility and immediacy of the medium, using it to create vibrant pictures of British wildlife and a broad spectrum of landscapes, inspired by the character and heritage of the area. A keen interest in both history and walking has influenced some of her more recent landscapes. She is currently exploring and developing a new range of work focusing on printmaking and illustration.
