5 Roxana de Rond Roxana de Rond is a freelance artist and children’s book illustrator whose pictures are often set in Cambridge, showing everyday events infused with a little humour while also reflecting a sense of contentment. Her images include many of Cambridge’s pubs, cafes, green spaces and colleges, and are sold as cards, prints and originals online, as well as at various events, including Open Studios. She also creates bespoke images, either for individuals or businesses, and is always happy to chat through an idea. This year, you can see Roxana’s work and studio (which she says will be ‘unusually tidy, for the occasion!’) on the first, second and third weekends in July. 13 Brunswick Terrace CB5 8DG roxanaillustrations.co.uk @roxanaderond

6 Maureen Mace Maureen’s paintings are about colour, detail and ideas, influenced by her love of medieval art and telling stories that can be magical and surreal. Built out of many layers with lots of tiny details, Maureen’s oil paintings take time to produce, and she often works on two or three at the same time. Her tree series includes gold leaf, plus thousands of individually painted leaves with objects nestling among them. Many of her paintings are made into prints and greetings cards, which can be bought at G David Bookseller, her website or Cambridge Open Studios. An avid sketcher, Maureen loves going out to draw on the streets of Cambridge or in the museums to get ideas for her paintings – you might even have seen her! 309 Milton Road CB4 1XQ maureenmace.co.uk

Kate Green is an abstract mixed-media and multi-disciplinary artist who, in her own words, “really loves a bit of colour!” Using refined patterns, free gestural expressionism and repeated layering, Kate seeks to represent and communicate things unseen, telling stories in colour and sharing emotions. “From intricate microscopic cells to the sweeping expanse of space and crashing waves of the sea, I’m excited by the extravagant dimensions and intimate details I see in creation – a joyfulness in the very act of creating that I aim to reflect in my own work,” she explains. Exhibiting from her garden studio across all four weekends, Kate plans to provide materials and inspiration for visitors of all ages so that they can get creative too! 65 Akeman Street, Cambridge CB4 3HE kategreenart.com
