Geoffrey Slater

I'm a Derbyshire based artist using all medias to paint my surroundings, places I visit, and basically anything that takes my eye and fills me with inspiration. I've exhibited in many galleries around the UK and have sold my work all over the world. My studio is in Wirksworth and I show my work here.

I studied A level art but a career in engineering meant I spent time away from painting. But the bug didn't leave me and I've returned over the the last 30 years to painting again. I'm inspired by colour, using it to bring my paintings to life, although not necessarily in a natural way. I admire colourists like the
Scottish Colourists, Fauvists, impressionist, expressionists, etc.
