| Shelley Dyer-gibbins |

|
Born 1973 in Dorset, England.
I grew up in a small sleepy village in the Dorset countryside. I had a vast array of artists within my family and so it was only natural that I should follow that path.

| About the Artist |
I like to try and show as many sides to my work as possible whether it's contemporary or traditional work. In earlier years I had always been inspired by Braque or choisy. Elements of these influences do become visable in some aspects of work even now. |

The Dart
2008 80x50cms |
|
‘The Dart’ was inspired by a recent trip
to Dittisham on the river Dart. I wanted to reproduce the feeling of light and the effect
it has on the water as well as the feeling
of vastness that the river holds through experimentation with mark making.

Dozy Cow
2008 Acrylic on canvas 80x50cms |
|
Based on Farmer Parfitt’s cows in Croscombe, I wanted to illustrate a humorous side to these creatures. To me they always seem so laid back and sleepy. |
Katie
2006 Wax and ink 80x50cms |
|
Katie, was inspired by an old friend of mine using wax candle and ink. This was probably one of the hardest of mediums to use, as you are quite literally painting ‘blind’. The wax is not revealed until ink is washed over it. |
Fusion
2007 Acrylic & Gold leaf on canvas 30x30cms |
|
My father was a gilder, so it would be fitting to exhibit ‘Fusion’. Acrylic on canvas with metallic paint, gold leaf and gilder’s wax.
A contemporary take on traditional gilding.
