​Steve Goodwin - has worked as a graphic designer and illustrator for over 35 years. He has a particular interest in motoring subjects and his work in this area is relief printing, a method where the image is drawn (backwards) on a smooth block of material, and the non-printing part of the image is carved away. The surface of the block is inked and transferred to paper. Each colour in an image is a separate carving.

His interest in motor sport goes back almost 40 years. He has been active as an organiser, marshal, and occasional competitor and is also a classic car owner.

 

Jonny Ambrose - creates contemporary automobile sculptures. His works celebrate automotive artistry with graceful abstraction, inspired by aerodynamic forms and imagined airflow. He has recently created commissions for Morgan, MG, and Porsche Club Motorsport, and been a featured artist by Porsche and Aston Magazines. His sculpture trophies have been created for The Quail US concours since 2017, as the Octane award and has exhibited across Europe, the Historic Motoring Awards, Goodwood, and invited annually to the Royal Automobile Club exhibitions. Jonny’s artworks combine traditional steam-bent wood craftsmanship with digital design processes, involving wood, CNC milled metal and Carbon Fibre. His works are coveted by international collectors from the Americas to Africa, Japan and Australia. He graduated in Fine Art Sculpture 1994, was 1995 BRDC Young Artist Prize runner up, and has since exhibited in Paris, California, London, Stuttgart, Frankfurt and Glasgow.

 

Richard Neergaard  

GMA Chairman and with a clear vision for the future of the Guild.

Amazing, impactful art can stop an audience in its tracks - but there must be beauty, not just shock or a dramatic statement. It’s Richard’s goal to create this in his unique automotive art. 

To achieve both curiosity and beauty for the audience, he integrates original pieces from famous race cars, exotics, and classic cars.  These pieces give meaning and a sense of history while the rest of the art provides an unusual framework.  Most are made with aluminium panels which are laser cut, CNC bent and anodised.  A high-quality photo is then laminated, computer calculated and plotter cut to fit exactly on the panels and screwed into an acrylic gloss back panel.  

Richard has works in the British Motor Museum, the Los Angeles Driving Museum, the Jaguar Heritage Trust Museum, the Williams F1 museum, Alfa Romeo F1, McLaren F1 and Williams F1 headquarters and exhibited at the Royal Automobile Club in London, Salon Prive at Blenheim Palace and sold at Bonhams Aston Martin Classics auction.

 

After a 25year career in the City, Jon Stevenson decided to pursue his passion for art and all things automotive by becoming a full time automotive artist. Focusing on Porsche, but with a love of many classics, including Alfa Romeo and Lancia, Jon typically works on a larger scale (1m x 1m and larger) in acrylic on canvas.  Jon looks for interesting angles, reflections and moments, to emphasise particular design features and create art that is visually impactful and true to the subject.  Jon also has a passion for depicting historic motor racing and regularly attends the Goodwood Revival and Members Meeting.

Ray West is an international award-winning pastel artist from Essex. He has always strived to create artworks that have detail and accuracy, and this has evolved into the hyper-realism style that is seen in much of his work today.

Ray loves the challenge of bringing subjects to life using pastels and pastel pencils, ensuring the colouring, tonal values and depth are just right to make them emerge from the page. He wants the viewer to believe in its reality, whilst enjoying the original subject matter.

Ray is self-taught who enjoyed drawing in his early years, then spent a career in the banking and investment industries before reigniting his passion for art in 2020.

Martin Smith

My passion for art came many years before my love for the automotive world.  By the age of 15 I was handy with many forms of media including pencil, airbrush, watercolour, gouache & oil.  Challenging & pushing myself with every picture I produced.  After my graduation from Hastings College of Art, I specialised in photo-realism, and married with my love of formula 1, had a clear vision for the future.  Every drawing or painting I produce isn’t just a piece of art, it’s a study in detail.  I love working the way I work.  Every piece of work is a challenge that requires pushing myself to the best of my ability.  I’m always learning, and willing to learn.  Never the master, but always the student. That’s why I love what I do.

Oliver Ray

I am an artist and creative designer from Bristol, much of my work has an automotive focus as I’ve always been drawn to the design decisions and choices that are taken when creating cars.

I use pencil and coloured charcoal to create drawings that lean on the nostalgia of old photos, positioning cars in surroundings that enhance the car or tell a story and although I am hoping people may mistake my work for a photo at first glance I am keen to show the pencil marks and finger prints so the viewer understands the medium, I am not looking to achieve hyper realism.

 

Kate Alger is an artist-printmaker and educator. Her work is entirely handmade and often combines delicate hand-drawn elements with a wide a range of analogue printmaking techniques and processes.

Kate’s automotive artwork quietly celebrates classic cars. Her hand-pulled silkscreen prints comprise many drawings, hand-cut paper stencils and different translucencies of ink. They are limited editions of just 10 original (handmade) prints. Her painterly monotypes are one-off hand-printed pieces, created by applying ink to a non-absorbent surface with rollers, brushes, rags, card and cotton buds, then when the image is ready, it is transferred onto cotton paper via an antique printing press. There is just one original monotype and a small edition of more affordable giclée prints based on the original.

Kate’s automotive artwork has been exhibited several times at the Royal Automobile Club, the British Motor Museum, Silverstone, and has been featured in Octane and Vantage magazines. She exhibited at Shelsley Walsh’s Classic Nostalgia and Pistonheads’ Annual Service events for the first time in 2025 and hopes to return to both. She is represented online by Historic Car Art, and is delighted to have been accepted into the Guild of Motoring Artists.

 

Paul Toogood’s love of drawing and painting goes back as far as he can remember putting pen to paper. At 15 he won second prize in a national painting competition run by the Daily Telegraph and Ford Motor Company to celebrate their victory at the London to Mexico World Cup rally with the now world-famous Ford Escort. Always fascinated by the complexity and precision of motor engineering he was in awe of the beautifully drawn, cut away, illustrations of formula one engines and bodies. With plenty of time on his hands during the Covid crisis his long-suffering wife suggested he get back into his artwork, which until then had remained just a hobby. So whatever or whoever the love of your life is he can reproduce it in pencil or pen and ink.

Henry Perera

My practice explores motorsport through Formula One imagery and vintage Porsche forms, positioned between fine art and graphic communication. Informed by a background in Graphic Design and 3D Design, my work translates speed, engineering, and visual identity into precise, image-led compositions. I am studying for a BA (Hons) Graphic Communication Design at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. My work is developed through direct observation at London car meets and events including the Goodwood Revival and Festival of Speed.

Phil Lightman

An established Kent-based motoring artist specialising in portraits of classic cars, with an emphasis on accuracy and detail. I value the active involvement that my motoring art offers into the increasingly popular classic car movement. I have been drawing and painting since early on in my childhood, when my upbringing at a busy petrol station enroute to Dover ‘fuelled’ my interest in cars, buses and lorries, which were frequent themes for my early art.

In recent years, I have again chosen to focus on portraying cars from the same era that originally inspired me. I have a particular fondness for the curves and chrome of the sports and classic cars of the 50s through to the 70s.

My current output is almost exclusively commissions following conversations with car owners at the many events I attend in Kent and the South-East.

Quite a few images have been requested as surprise gifts, the surprise often enhanced by the image being supplied as a greetings card given beforehand.

All images are hand-drawn and painted, using gouache-based mixed media to create images with a traditional feel.

 

Steve Francis is a multimedia artist with a professional background in model making and set building. He uses gouache painting to explore a lifelong interest in transportation, with cars as his main focus. His subjects centre on mid-century vehicles, echoing the box art from Scalextric that he played with as a child, combined with his love for Art Deco design and the understated glamour of old Hollywood posters. He is a member of the Guild of Motoring Artists and a volunteer lockkeeper with the Canal & River Trust. When not obsessing over motors of all kinds, he can be found behind a drum kit.
