Mirka Mcneill Farmer

I moved from London to North Norfolk 7 years ago after careers as a web designer and then an interior designer for Andrew Martin International.
My original degree was in anthropology and archaeology but I always wanted to paint and completed an art school when I was younger.
My move to Norfolk inspired me to start painting again.
I paint in oil and finished a Diploma in oil painting at the Martin Kinnear School of Painting.
For over a year I have been studying at the Bright Light Fine Art and I have been following David Leffel's, Sherrie' McGraw's and Jacqueline Kamin's amazing workshops.
I am a abstract realist and chiaroscuro painter and I love painting still life, landscapes, portraits, animals but not object, only ideas, like travel of light, colour and luminosity and illusion of space around objects.
