Artwork description:

In Shrewsbury’s heart lies the quarry, unworked five hundred years or more, now an amazing riot of colour and aromas, thanks to the most fantastic gardens. This abstract started there. These gardens have inspired this and a whole series of moving, bright, swirling artworks.

Artfinder asks me to define my work as figurative or abstract, impressionistic or expressionistic. That’s hard to do. I try to create suggestive, beguiling, transcendent compositions in bright, youthful colours using lines and shapes that suggest but don’t define people in their constantly moving bodies and environments. The results are often a surprise to me, revealing delicious meanings and emotions!

This artwork was created using a multitude of techniques, including photography, digital and hand painting, penmanship, print, and chance! It’s on a quality heavy cotton canvas, professionally stretched on a spruce frame, and is ready to hang.

Materials used:

Pencil, pen, ink, acrylic, watercolour, photography, ipad, print
