His practice includes exterior pargetting, decorative lime plasterwork, hand-shaped bas relief panels and original sculptural artworks — each piece created with care, texture and a deep respect for traditional craft.

James’ work is ideal for anyone who loves historic buildings, wildlife-inspired artwork, architectural details, unique interiors or handmade pieces with a strong sense of place. From decorative façades and heritage walls to striking interior feature panels and one-of-a-kind artworks, his pieces bring craftsmanship, character and natural beauty into every setting.

Tuesday to Saturday, 09:30–15:00Artist of the Month: Carla Elizabeth
Summer Vibes — Flowers, Feathered Friends & the Heat of the Season
Dates: 18 August – 13 September 2026

Product spotlight today: The Nuthatch – Finding Another Way
Unlike most birds, the nuthatch happily travels headfirst down tree trunks, finding its own way of navigating the world. A reminder that when circumstances change, there is often more than one path forward.

Meet Carla Elizabeth, a Suffolk-based artist inspired by the coast, countryside and wildlife of East Anglia. Working in acrylics, oils, pastels and mixed media, Carla creates expressive pieces full of colour, character and a real love of the natural world.

After a career in graphic design, Carla returned to painting in 2022 and has since built a beautiful collection of work, from atmospheric seascapes to contemporary bird studies. She also runs welcoming art workshops, helping others enjoy creativity in a relaxed and supportive way.

Following a breast cancer diagnosis in 2026, Carla created 'Carla’s T**s' — a thoughtful and humorous collection of bird paintings designed to spark conversations around breast awareness. Alongside her 'Feathered Friends' collection, the work celebrates creativity, connection and hope.

Carla regularly exhibits across Suffolk and Norfolk and works from her garden studio near Woodbridge.
