Althea Holmes

I find inspiration in the colours and shapes I observe in the environment wherever I am. When painting I like the immediacy of Acrylics, sometimes including mixed media. Drawing has always been a passion, and so I also enjoy pastels, drawing and print media. Landscapes are predominantly my subject, but seascapes and portraiture are also favourites. My progression into a more abstract viewpoint is enabling a different perception of subject matter as well as a change in technique and tools.
