Artists
Statement
Having recently moved to Bollington, my
artwork is inspired by the wonderful people and landscapes of the area, as well
as by the seascapes of the beautiful Lleyn Peninsula, where I spend much of my
spare time. As well as sketching from direct
observation I use my camera to collect information which I then develop into my
own compositions. I love to work with acrylics applying the paint thickly to
add texture, then finishing off with some very fine details. I also work in
watercolours and pastels, as well as 3D work.
My carvings and driftwood work are
inspired by many walks along the beaches of the Lleyn where much can be found,
especially after winter storms. I love the well-worn shapes of the driftwood
which I often use instead of canvases. I also enjoy carving small pieces which
I then add to some of my canvases. However, the wonderful patterns and
textures that can be found on some of the wood I prefer to leave unpainted to
preserve their natural beauty; these I use to make clocks and for mounting my
beaded animal sculptures. I also carve spoons, dishes and small animals from
local green wood and fashion beaded jewellery using coiled wirework.e-mail: barkeranna@btinternet.com
