Ruth Tillyard Artist
I produce paintings and prints, and find that the freedom of the first counterbalances the controlled nature of the latter. Latterly I have specialised in Lino Prints. Each print is produced in multiples in related colours, so the effect comes from the group as well as the individual print.
I admire the work of 20th century artists like Elizabeth Blackadder, Barbara Rae and John Piper for their paintings and prints; in my Degree Show work I was particularly inspired by American artist Charles Sheeler.
My preferred subject matter is places that I like or love, that are around me in my daily life. I have a keen interest in my surroundings and feel fortunate that I live in an area with interesting buildings and beautiful nature that I can appreciate and record.
Most of the works on this site are for sale; I am also able to work to commission and lead workshops. I am interested in helping people find their own artistic "voice". |
