Catalogue Details

I would much rather do the work than talk about it ! Art has been a consuming passion all my life and I cannot imagine not being able to continue it lifelong. People who make art are probably addicted to the mental zone of absorption and focus that seems to bring everything into harmony. Even in the face of frustrating problem solving and challenge there is always a sense of being in a magical space. I’m a painter above all, but have experimented with printmaking and always do lots of drawing, both as preparation for painting or in its own right. Patricia Giles Dec 2008
