"Red and Blue Sails in the Sunset" is one of a series of four using collagraph monoprint techniques. Monoprinting produces a unique print while allowing the artist to experiment with form, texture and colour variations. The variety of printing techniques, especially monotype, can create a sensuous, velvety quality , differing from conventional painting. I enjoyed working in this medium and explored composition and subtle colour differences , sometimes masking out areas with Chine collé (placing Japanese paper onto the print). I developed this image by placing the printed Chine collé on top of the work. This technique of masking out shapes seemed to create ghostly impressions while still keeping the bold blue and red sails. Tales of ancient mariners often draw on the mystery of the sea and perhaps these "ghostly silhouettes" evoke this too.

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.
