Jeremy Houghton – Overall Competition Judge
Renowned Broadway artist Jeremy Houghton paints journeys, sport and adventure to explore the essence of motion, favouring themes of light, space, movement and time. The subjects that characterise these scenes are illuminated by his focus on the spaces in which bodies linger, shimmer, move and often take flight.
The idea of ‘telling the untold story’ continues to inform Houghton’s considered approach to his artist-in-residence projects, which have punctuated his practice for the last twenty years. Invited to document the life of a number of high-profile communities, he shifts between the exceptional and the everyday, painting subjects ranging from sporting royalty, to the unhurried pace of tradition and wildlife.

Amy McLelland – Local Artist Category Judge
Amy is a member of the festival Management Committee and commercial art dealer at EFA Gallery in Solihull.
She is a strong believer in art being accessible to all, and is well known for making the world of ‘commercial art’ welcoming to people of all budgets, experience and backgrounds. With a BA (Hons) Fine Art degree from Bath Spa University, several Artist Residencies (including funding by the Arts Council England) and years of practice holding exhibitions across the Midlands, Amy is very keen on developing the art competition as an opportunity for up and coming artists to boost awareness of their practices and sell their artworks to new collectors.
