Description
Our Winter exhibition will feature Artist Sally Simons and her beautiful collection of Original oil on board and limited edition prints. The exhibition will be on display from 1st December through till 26th February 2020 at Ironbridge Fine Arts Gallery.
“Drawing and painting is a way of life that brings me closer to where I am; deepening the experience of a place and the connections within it. The paintings are my response to the mystery of the connectedness of things. Landscapes are an endless source of fascination and wonder because of the constant changing interplay of light and seasons, overlaying and illuminating the more solid forms created by those living and working in it, both now and through time. I am drawn to light and its effects – what it reveals and what is hidden. I believe there are archetypal memories associated with landscapes. My paintings attempt to express some of these qualities and hold them in space and time.”
