Bobbie Whittaker

After leaving a career in Environmental Consultancy, Bobbie is now a practicing artist with her work being collected internationally.

Bobbie's work is process based and often begins with a feeling or emotion and develops based on her initial mark making. She uses bold colours straight from the tube which she selects in response to a dominant emotion. She often uses natural forms as inspiration for her colours and layering technique, which she completes in oil paint.

She likens her layering technique to a natural formation process, with the different pressures of life adding the different layers, similar to how pressure and layering causes rock striation to form.
