Nigel Cooke Artist’s Garden 2 (2018) “I’ve reached a point where I feel I want something to be democratic in terms of interpretation. The work is like a screen that is available for projection.” Nigel Cooke achieves this elusive in between of figuration and abstraction, which leads to works that are open to viewer’s interpretation […]
Turner’s desire to understand the world led him to pioneer Romantic paintings, focusing on capturing the emotional experience of the landscape through expressive brush marks and luminous colours. For many years he trained as an accomplished watercolourist leading him to work boldly and quickly. His skills, translated into an eclectic style, led him to paint […]
Sanam Khtibi speaks of her work saying, “my women are vulnerable and yet predators at the same time. They are also depicted within the same plane as the animals, who represent power, danger, and our primitive instincts.” While she uses art historical references and traditional compositions, she juxtaposes them with her innovative and unique style […]
For many years Paul Cezanne studied Mount Sainte-Victoire, retreating to his hometown of Aix-en-Provence in his later career.

Cezanne was interested […]

“I am an artist that values, above all, the ability of art to move me emotionally and psychically.

Claude Monet’s magnificent Water Lilies series (1914 – 1926) are some of his most famous works as Monet repeatedly depicts his beloved garden which he treated as a work of art alone, calling it his “finest masterpiece.” Working in the Impressionist style, Monet focuses on the experiential feeling and optical pleasure of nature with colourful […]
“Nature is the fountain’s head, the source from whence all originality must spring” There is no one able to reproduce the heat of the mid-day sun, sound of a summer breeze, or the cool of the shade cast across a panoramic view than John Constable. ‘Hampstead Heath, with the House Called ‘The Salt Box’ (1819-20) […]
Barbara Hepworth’s modernist sculptures are able to capture the essence of a landscape in abstract form. The interactive nature of ‘Three Obliques, (Walk-in)’ (1968) allows viewers to experience the art’s surroundings with a new perspective, both by immersing themselves in the sculpture’s presence as well as the viewfinder framed by looking through the work. Her […]
“My consultant was compassionate and very knowledgeable on the invisible illness I am dealing with; Lyme disease, chronic fatigue and Hashimotto. I feel blessed I could gain all this access from my home as I was too weak to travel. I am already feeling the benefits from the regime I was given by CCH Live. Very important. I have been ill for 34 years and there is so much information out there that it gets confusing. Great to have someone I can trust at long last.”
“I was suffering from low thyroid with symptoms of weight gain, brain fog and fatigue. I would some sometimes burst into tears out the blue for no reason as I felt so emotionally exhausted… I was advised easy to follow nutritional advice as well as emotional support and and lifestyle guidance. Her warmth, advice and support were incredible and I went from strength to strength. My energy levels soared and my Joie de Vivre returned. I am so grateful to CCHlive – I feel everyone could benefit from their expertise.”
“Sometimes the medical route is intimidating and can take a long time to get an appointment- the natural route offers me support often and quickly!”
“Jacqueline Harvey has a spiritual aura that radiates around her, infectiously enlivening all those in her presence. Her naturally calming benevolence defies her fun-loving vivacious character though this bubbles up in the form of joyous laughter at the slightest provocation. Her great gift is the insightful sense of wellness she inspires and her advice is always worth listening to.”
“My mental health was really important. With 50 people involved in the project, the bigger it got the more pressures emerged – it was becoming really stressful and overwhelming. Jacqueline helped me to cope with organising something on such a massive scale.”
“My eating habits were really bad and made worst by a very stressful work situation – I was being bullied by my boss. Jacqui helped me through this by working on my body and the self-doubt that raged in my mind. Eventually, I had the strength and courage to deal with the situation legally and I can’t tell you how much I appreciated her skills and care.”
“A really enjoyable day, interesting topics and knowledgeable speakers. Well put together event. Nice, quiet hotel with plenty of space and not too far from local transport. Well done Jacqui!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this fantastic event. It was inspiring, thought-provoking, and illuminating. It happened at just the right time in my year – coming into winter when I’m slowing down and being more reflective, thinking about what I want to achieve next year and how to go about it.”
“Such a great way to ease into space of events after long months of lockdown. Jacqueline is a true professional when it comes to hosting events. She made all the speakers and guests feel comfortable and included. Great content too, lots of interesting information and I loved that it was done in the interview style as it made speakers more relaxed and also to the point.”
