Title
Angela Lawrence, artist using watercolour, oil, Clience Studio Gallery, Kirkcudbright, Dumfries, Galloway, Scotland.
Description
I paint in oil and watercolour, my work dividing roughly into three kinds: a representational but personal view of landscape ; semi- abstract glimpses of landscape ; and paintings of a much more abstract nature which reflect my response to that of which landscape is composed – rock, water, organic matter, and colour. I am especially fascinated with a sense that contained within a stone are all the elements of what we see around us and beyond. My recent series “Within the Stone” and “Beyond the Stone” reflect these ideas.
I have lived almost half of my life in Finland as an artist and musician, and have enjoyed opportunities to combine both in workshop projects involving groups as diverse as schools, professional theatre and orchestras.The atmosphere and landscape of Finland has been a source of many paintings. Since coming to live in Scotland, they have taken on a fresh aspect. My most recent work has been inspired by the looming shapes and ever-changing shadows across the hills and horizons of Galloway and the Western Highlands; the mysterious and elusive landscape...
I hold a B.A. honours degree in Music and English, and postgraduate diplomas in both music and education, and have studied art as an external student at the Camberwell School of Art, London and in Finland.
