Susan Edwards MA FRSA

Hi! I'm in the studio at the crack of dawn working on painting for 3 shows this year! So not a second to loose!

I'm looking forward to welcoming you with a big selection of paintings of all my favourite places-including The Malvern Hills, Cornwall, Snowdonia, Venice, London and the Yorkshire Moors, and I'm also showcasing new contemporary semi abstracts which are developing in the studio from paintings done en plein air.

Here's the programme:

I'm exhibiting for the first time in Gloucester with a solo show at The Gate Gallery, Gloucester Cathedral Quarter from 22 - 29 June.

Then I'm in the prestigious new forum of The Henry Sandon Hall, at The Worcester Royal Porcelain Factory, Worcester, from 22 -31 August .

Finally I'll be opening up my studio in Hereford to visitors for h'Art Week from 5 - 13 September.

NEWS:

This spring I popped in to Tony's house in Brixton (Anthony Eyton RA). He mentored me for my MA and I'm always grateful for his fantastic inspirational advice and supportive encouragement, and try to see him when I'm down in London. Here we are in his Garage Studio. His birthday is the day before mine and he's coming up to his 103rd birthday, still painting every day, and still with that mischevious twinkle in his eye. There's hope for all of us yet!

Artist's Statement

I’m a contemporary colourist painter. I work joyously and I like people to recognise the subject I’m painting but I’m not aiming to paint like a photograph!

I work intuitively, building up paintings with layers of different kinds of vigorous mark making, using brushes, palette knives and textures.

For most works I paint on the finest quality linen using Artists’ quality paint, so my paintings won’t fade in sunlight and will potentially last for centuries!

My landscapes are generally begun on the spot, at favourite locations include the Cornish Coast, the Yorkshire Dales, and Snowdonia.

Recent more semi abstract work is evolving in the studio from paintings done en plein air, and from photographs.

I have exhibited with the Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The New English Art Club and Women in Art at The Mall Galleries London in recent years and my paintings and portraits are in International private collections.
