Clare Cooper Walsh - Mixed MediaI was born and brought up in Birmingham and took my Art Foundation course there, at Bournville School of Art. I then graduated from Bath College of Higher Education with a BA honours in Fine Art.I moved to Scotland in í92 and since then have been working in various media, including printmaking and textiles. Over the last 3 years I have been working in mixed media, exhibiting in solo and mixed shows throughout the UK but mostly in Scotland. I have undertaken various private commissions and one for the Archdiocese of Edinburgh and St Andrews to produce a Lourdes Pilgrimage banner. I have always been inspired by the textures, colours and shapes found in nature, and over the years this has led me to the semi-abstract work I now produce. Although most of my paintings begin from a sketch, I find working in mixed media is an exciting process that often leads to unexpected results which can take the paintings in a new direction. |
