Maria Bolton
Artist
Through changing light, colour, shape and season, nature provides us with an abundant stream of glimmers. Living and working primarily in Derbyshire, I am inspired by the tickertape of transitory beauty, encountered in the landscape.
Through experimentation with textiles, print, paint and drawing, I combine heightened colour, texture and gestural realism to capture small transitory moments of arresting wonder. In creating these pieces, I want to evoke joy, in the hope of increasing our susceptibility to the centered contentment which these visual glimmers can evoke.
