Gail Astbury

I was born in Blackpool in the north west of England and am an artist, researcher and educator. Painting is my favourite discipline and I have studios in London UK and in the Charente, south-west France. My paintings are an attempt to distil my feelings in the face of the day to day 'storms of life'.

I trained in fine art painting at Wimbledon School of Art in London under artists Prunella Clough and George Blacklock and recently gained an MA at Goldsmiths University London in Contemporary Arts Practices. I exhibit internationally and take commissions from private and corporate clients as well as teaching watercolour painting at OPEN Ealing Arts Centre in London.

Most recent exhibition was at OPEN Ealing for BEAT and I also displayed a series of 10 watercolours at the Institut Francais in London called Ile au Tresor
