Artist: Jill Batten
After achieving a B.A. (hons) degree in Fine Art I have continued to develop my work and frequently exhibit. My recent work is a creative response to images stored over years of travel and a love of the effect of time on the surfaces of buildings and geology. The starting point for my work is often a drawing or photograph, at times even a rubbing of a surface or an actual sample of rock collected from a beach or a derelict building. In my studio memories distilled over time take over. I work with mixed media, continually experimenting with paint and various materials, building complex layers until the painting begins to emerge unplanned and spontaneous.
