About twenty years ago Ken retired from advertising and focused on his painting. He was commissioned by SAB and BMW and has enjoyed several successful exhibitions. His work includes landscapes, wildlife, paintings of dancers and women. He can be commissioned to do portraits also.

His mediums of choice are oils, inks, pastels and charcoals. He has a very diverse style.

After 18 years in the IT industry, Doreen decided to surround herself on a daily basis by photography that she loves which led to the establishment of The Cow Artworks in 2004. In March 2006 she opened the gallery in Parkhurst and has thrived in this beautiful space. Her passion for travel affords her the opportunity to take photographs, particularly candid shots of street scenes, graffiti and architecture.
