Quartet of Painters

We are four local artists who are members of Hornsea Art Society and meet weekly in Hornsea as part of the Spectrum art group. Whilst there we can support each other to develop our individual painting styles and also challenge each other to try new techniques and mediums.

Our inspiration comes from the beautiful area in which we all live giving us a wealth of material to paint from landscapes and seascapes to flowers and animals.

We hope our very diverse painting styles will create an intriguing and reflective exhibition to inspire your imagination.

About the Artists:

Pauline Birdi

I enjoy painting in watercolours, sometimes painting landscapes others times in painting a design concept I have thought out myself. I take my time with the details to ensure my finished picture is of a high quality. I am also becoming very interested in creating collage pictures that become semi abstract using a variety of materials including making my own collage paper to give my pictures a unique and personal finish.

Aileen Marozzi

At the moment, I am painting in acrylics creating landscapes and seascapes from scenes of the beautiful local area where I live but sometimes I enjoy using pastels to give a different effect to the picture I am working on. Painting flowers in intricate detail is also something that appeals to me and keeps my creativity flowing. My new venture with this in mind is dabbling with strips of material to create a picture by sewing them with decorative thread to a canvas before they are mounted and framed.

Ann Roberts

I have created in several media types but currently I am working mostly in acrylics. My style could be described as semi abstract. I like to experiment with a range of colours not always realistic. I take my inspiration from the coast where I live and spend holidays and also from the countryside around me . My style is evolving and developing into one which represents my feelings about the land and seascapes which I see and enjoy.

Valerie Reeves

I have been enjoying painting with oils for decades but more recently have found that using Roofing slates make an excellent support for my work. They are then sealed and protected by three coats of yacht varnish. You can hang them indoors, on a Veranda, or outside where they can brighten up dark corners or fences in your garden.
