Patricia Butler

Moving to the wild coast of North Devon has been a wonderful life time dream for me. There are so many beautiful places to inspire. Walking the beach and finding objects on the tide line, provide me with subjects for my work and all the time the cry of the gulls and the song of the sky lark. Watching the boats ride the moody seas.

Sometimes I work with a life model for my figurative studies using charcoal and acrylic. I am a painter and sculptor and work in many different media. My favourite medium is oil paint, as I love its pliability and almost sensual feel as it moves across the canvas.

I have sold my work and exhibited widely throughout the UK and internationally.
