Maria Bolton
Landscape Artist
Textiles and Mixed Media
About:
I am an artist inspired by landscapes and colour. I explore the local landscape during long walks; photographing and sketching vistas and details. I then translate these sketches onto canvas using a combination of textile collage, machine embroidery, paint and drawing. These pieces are gestural and explore the interplay between texture, light and colour.
I also create works on paper using a process which layers an acrylic underpainting with linier mono print and colour mark making, creating landscapes which are more graphic in style. I live and work in Ambergate, where the seasonal change of the woodland and surrounding landscape is a continual inspiration.
