Artist of The Week - Audrey Greaves


The Artist of the week this week, is Audrey Greaves. Audrey is a self-taught artist for whom inspiration is found in the English landscape as well as scenes from abroad. She is also inspired by flowers in her own garden as well as parks and gardens that she visits. Audrey paints in oils, acrylics, watercolour and mixed media.
Her subject matter ranges from beautiful floral work, like the image shown, to Butterflies, wildlife and people and animal portraits. Audrey also has some of her unique hand-made jewellery in her gallery.
I particularly love this oil painting. I love the way Audrey ahs utilised a combination of soft and harder edges, as well as lighting, to highlight the poppy.
