Vanessa Gardiner @ Sladers Yard

Vanessa Gardiner’s most recent paintings explore her chosen places in Portland, Cornwall and Skye with relish and confidence.   She paints in a dynamic geometric style enlivened with lyrical curving lines of hills and pathways. Her colours may be opaque and crisp or more translucent and weathered, scoured and scored, washed back and reapplied, to give surfaces like those of a pebble on the beach. Seductive in colour, texture and composition, these paintings deepen and intensify by memory.
