About Sherry Edmondson

 
 
  • Biography

     I live and work in Hampshire my studio is in the garden.  When my career as a successful ceramic restorer   reached a climax I made a welcome return to full time painting, completing a period of study with The Open College of the Arts to refresh my techniques. 

    My contemporary landscape paintings are reflective, impressions of places I know or have visited, expressive responses to seasonal changes, and tricks of the light that quickly pass

    Working in oils, or acrylic mixed media the paintings create visual echoes of my reactions to contact with the environment. I aspire to capture an essence of place, how it seemed at that moment and recreate that atmosphere in my paintings. I use a spontaneous impasto technique that builds colour and texture into contrasting quiet and vigorous passages, creating visual and tactile interest

    Much though, study, sketching, and note taking on site goes into the process of planning a painting, before I make my first  mark on a blank canvas in the studio. I relish the   seasonal moods and changes of the landscape, and create my paintings in  tune with the seasons.
