Tudor Rose Painting

I am Sian Pritchard, a predominantly self-taught artist, with experience of studying fine art at undergraduate level. My background is varied, having studied for a BSc degree in Biology and Geography, and recently an MSc in Computer Science. I have always enjoyed spending time developing my artistic skills alongside these subjects. I mostly work with paint, inks and digital media. My works concentrate on colour and tone, with each piece designed to produce a bold effect. I have worked with acrylics for a number of years. This became one of my favoured mediums, due its versatility. Experimenting with mixed media allows me to make further discoveries as I work. My designs are generally planned, rather than instant, but more ideas develop whilst I am working on a project. I gain inspiration from a variety of contemporary and traditional artists. I particularly like pop art, impressionist and art deco works, and am currently concentrating on combining these styles. I prefer to work in bright colours, and I consider this combination carefully in advance.
