Artist of the Week - Audrey Greaves

Artist of the Week - Audrey Greaves

This week we have had Audrey Greaves as our Artist of the Week. Audrey began painting seriously in 1992 after joining an Art Club. She  enjoys painting landscapes, flowers, wild life, portraits, pet portraits, abstract and naive paintings. 

Audrey says:

"At the moment I am painting a few still lifes in oils. My inspiration is found in the English landscape as well as scenes from abroad. I am also inspired by flowers in my own garden as well as parks and gardens that I visit and life in general. I paint in oils, acrylics, watercolour and mixed media.

My work has been hung in several exhibitions throughout Yorkshire and Lancashire over the last 17 years and also in galleries. While exhibiting at the Ilkley Art Exhibitions in 1998 I was elected an Associate of the British Society of Painters. I have done several successful portrait, pet portrait and landscape commissions from photographs and would be pleased to do more."

"Flax Reapers" by Peter Dillon

Our Artist of the Week, this week, has been Peter Dillon. Peter is a prolific painter who has lived in Leeds from his late teens. His artistic career started in the mid 1970s with an interest in scratch building models. During this time, he won a number of awards including the prestigious silver medal at the Royal Engineers' Expo. 

During the late 1980s, Peter's interest was taken with computer graphics and animation, but over the last few years, a passion for the more traditional style of painting has emerged. He is currently studying at Leeds College of Art & Design, and at the Swarthmore Centre in Leeds.
