Exclusive live demonstration by Elaine Almond – Acrylics and inks
Colourful, spiritual, sometimes quirky and inspired by nature and life experiences, Elaine paints expressively in acrylics, inks, uses collage and occasionally oils. She is an intuitive artist and teacher, who loves abstract and semi-abstract forms. A former psychotherapist and lay minister, she sees art as a means of self-expression and emotional connection and is interested in how ideas and feelings translate onto the canvas and how this affects the individual. Paintings are mostly colourful, multi-layered, in series with a common colour palette or theme.
Elaine works from her studio in West Kent, exhibits locally, around the south east, at national art fairs, and was shortlisted in the National Open Art competition in 2017. She offers individual and group art classes, and is a member of the Pure Arts Group and Sevenoaks Visual Arts Forum, Ginger Cactus Art Collective and Sevenoaks Art Club. Her work is in private collections in the UK, Eire and Canada.
