Deirdre Elphick

Painting, drawing & printing

​

I have loved drawing and painting since being a small child and come from a family of artists.

 

I studied Fine Art painting at Winchester School of Art under the late Gillian Ayres.

 

I work across a number of genres: Life Studies, Landscape, Still Life and Abstract painting. 

My artwork is influenced by the natural world and my ongoing search for ways to capture its energy - particularly through colour and line.  A core element of my practice is the process of channelling the subconscious in order to visualise the life in my surroundings.

Life Study is central to my practice as it gives me the opportunity to observe and draw. I find drawing the human form endlessly fascinating and challenging.

Both Still Life and Landscape give me the opportunity to learn from nature.

My abstract work employs a more formal process - an exploration of colour, form and composition.

I endeavour to build fluency using a variety of mediums.

I live and work in North Wraxall, Wiltshire, and I am very happy to take on commissions.
