ABOUT THE ARTWORK
The Alice Suite by Marianne Sturtridge, 2012-2013. Inspired by Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, the Alice Suite of paintings pays homage to Lewis Carroll and his original illustrator John Tenniel. The work seeks to retain the mystery and magic of the original Alice stories. I created these paintings by continuously reading extracts from the book, making drawings and then reading some more. I feel this kept me in the character of the story while freeing me in my art to delve deeper and deeper into this strange , other world. I began by drawing the Caterpillar smoking his exotic pipe with smoke billowing in ribbons surrounding and thereby distancing him. Little Alice sticks her hand through the giant mushroom to get his attention as she is in need of advice. "Advice from a Caterpillar" painting has a different atmosphere from the rest of the Alice series and makes me feel frightened for Alice. Maybe the ethereal landscape will become real once we eat the magic mushroom. Watercolours with ink, candle-wax and Letraset were used.

Please visit me on : I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
