Sally Anne Fitter and Celia Wilkinson - Outside and In

About

Celia's paintings are a very personal response to her surroundings and events in her life. They have become a visual diary, hence the change in tempo of some of the paintings. Celia is interested in the process of deconstructing the landscape and piecing it back together with the aim of expressing more than just what she sees but allowing the viewer to experience what she is feeling at the time. In Celia's most recent paintings, she has allowed her subconscious to take charge. She never plans a painting but starts with a simple brushstroke which is where the journey begins.

Sally Anne Fitter's still life collages are stylish and vibrant, the perfect complement to Celia's landscapes. Sally Anne works mainly in acrylic on canvas, layering and working into the paint to create texture. Sally regularly incorporates collage and gold leaf into her paintings. She uses a vivid and rich colour pallete, influenced by her training as a textile designer. She employs pattern and decoration to apply vivid colours.
