Preview: 18.30-20.00 20/03

Mixed media artist Susan Chisholm will be showing her painted collages at the Art House this Spring alongside larger scale paintings on canvas.

Susan’s beautifully composed paintings combine an attention to detail portraying wildlife with abstract shapes, rendered with layers and textures and echoing the built environment.

‘My paintings contain many layers of collage and paint applied in various ways to create a finished artwork with depth, influenced by textures in the city- graffiti, flaking paint layers and old painted signs on walls.  I have picked up a fascination with nature from my children and my paintings express how nature can be found within the urban environment.’

Susan studied Visual Communication at Edinburgh College of Art and has exhibited her work in many Galleries in Sheffield and beyond. Susan will also be showing with Open Up Sheffield this year in May, and can be seen on the Open Up Sheffield website at www.openupsheffield.co.uk
