Steve Dixey Photography
Steve is a local photographer whose work has been largely inspired by the seaside. His prints and a book of his work is available in The Shop.
Steve has spent a lot of his free time as a beach wanderer, drawn to the sands and the sea, peering in
pools, digging around for fishing bait and fishing in The Humber. The sea is in his blood as his father worked on Grimsby trawlers.
He has had a camera in his hand from an early age (Kodak Instamatic) and in tow for most of his adventures.

Sarah Palmer
Sarah captures scenes from Cleethorpes and Northern Lincolnshire through watercolours and inks that eventually are made into greetings cards, postcards and prints. Her distinctive and colourful style is characterised by light and quick pen strokes.

Linda Ingham
Linda's collection of hand-made, eco-printed and sustainably sourced items encourage consideration of the planet crisis in home décor. Entitled Field Notes, the selection relates to her visual arts practice and is created solely with small batch techniques from materials sourced in Lincolnshire.

Annie Thwaytes
