Artist’s statement
Ronnie uses Acrylics and Collage in her work. Textural quality plays an important role, adding interest to her paintings and encouraging the viewer to look a little closer into the work. She covers the support with Collaged papers and looks for an area within this abstract background, to draw out the image. Not all of the collaged papers are painted over, allowing the viewer to see snippets of hidden images or text she used in her under painting
It is the coasts of North Wales, Anglesey, Ireland and Cornwall, which gives Ronnie her inspiration. These places are made up of amazing textures, old boats left on the beaches, rock pools and cliff tops, frayed ropes and fishing nets. For Ronnie, these are the creative moments that inspire a future painting, and there are paintings waiting round every corner.
