Gill Edwards
Gill is a UK based Artist and Printmaker with a background in textile design for luxury fabric and wallpaper brands. She has a lifelong love of colour and pattern and now works full time as an artist.
Gill’s paintings are created in a series, often working on 4 – 8 paintings at the same time. Her paintings begin with lots of play and mark making, following her intuition. She may use colours and shapes which are unfamiliar but just enjoys the process of applying paint, usually acrylic, onto birch panels. As the paintings develop Gill starts to refine the compositions and introduce the final intended colour palette. Colour and mark making, along with pattern, are the elements which excite her the most. She enjoys exploring differences, in colour, in tonal value, in size of shapes and ultimately creates a painting which allows the viewer to explore the entire surface area and then look deeper into it . Gill loves the hidden history of revealing marks or unexpected colours which have been buried deep below the surface.
Gill’s work has been bought by collectors worldwide, primarily in UK & USA
