Walking with Artists

About us

Richard trained in landscape design, environmental management, counselling and drawing and has extensive experience of project management, community development, group facilitation and learning. Richard’s work crosses boundaries between arts and landscape regeneration and is to do with facilitating creativity and partnerships.

Creative Activities
My interest in drawing and photography is both about the landscape and the process of engaging people in their locality; as a way of affecting the landscape around us and within us. I am particularly interested in observing and exploring my relationship with nature, especially as found in the woodland landscape, by making works that combine digitally produced and drawn images. I am a director of a company developing a landscape visitor, education and enterprise centre in my hometown of Stroud.

Kel is a former Senior Lecturer at the University of the Arts, London.
He is a practising artist, printmaker, photographer and educator with extensive experience of teaching in Europe, Asia and America. He has exhibited widely in the UK and abroad with work held in private collections in Britain, USA and Europe. He works with Gloucestershire Digital Arts Forum and Stroud Valleys Artspace, an artist-led cooperative studio in Gloucestershire.

Creative activities
Kel's creative work examines an interaction with the landscape which is often the result of a personal or group journey, observation or event. Multiple viewpoints and interwoven overlays replicate the dynamic sensations experienced during the 'journey process'. Images are not medium specific and are often the result of several different media that could include Photography, Printmaking, Drawing and Digital Imaging.

Tom Keating graduated from Blackpool College with a degree in wildlife photography, specialising in the communication of mans' relationship with the environment. As well as being an artist and photographer, he is also a lecturer in photography, webdesign and digital imaging.

Creative activities
I am exited about making things, whether working on my own or in a group.
My interest is in exploring journeys, place and ideas, thought and conversation, expressing the results through different types of media.
