"On a tree by a river" is a print taken from a lino-cut originally intended to be used for printing my own wallpaper. I began by making drawings of birds in different stages of flight , some perched on tree branches. The paper drawings were refined in order to reduce too much pressure on the soft linoleum and strive to produce an expressive drawing "cartoon" with minimum lines. I enjoyed drawing these mythical birds as it provided scope for my imagination. What could be better than watching birds in their ever-changing daily routines, their contorted body shapes , un-seeing legs but somehow we know they are supported and balanced by those elegant tails. There is so much to see and admire in birds not forgetting their religious and mythical significance. The only ink colour here is a blue which I created by mixing various quantities of blues to achieve what I thought looked right. I rolled onto the white paper with a thin layer of ink roller using a veil of colour to set the scene for the bird print. "On a tree by a river" conveys a winter time when the leaves are struggling to hold on to life while providing food and shelter for these birds. I think the naiive uncomplicated bird shapes and delicate veined leaves lightens the mood, not unlike a children's story-book with a happy ending.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com 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.
