Completing a Fine Art Degree at Sheffield Polytechnic in the UK in 1984, she began working as an alternative hairdresser in 1990. It was wonderful having your art in the public arena and building relationships with the people who were modelling your art. In 2009 she was invited to Helensville to create an arts & activities programme for people with disabilities. She loves seeing ‘differently abled’ artists exhibiting in mainstream settings, enjoying their spontaneous art practices. Her recent art making is something she describes as ‘playing with paint’. Linda Stevenson Painting Linda Stevenson is an artist, designer and counsellor. These three fields of interest frequently overlap and feed into each other: manifesting in her richly coloured artworks. Her art is influenced by travel, nature, philosophy, spirituality and psychology and perpetual curiosity. Her contemporary paintings are an expression of a deeper spirituality, and an extension of this perpetual curiosity. “In my paintings, words and emotions are transformed into combinations of symbolic colour, pattern and images. Psychology, theology, spirituality and art therapy (a means of non-verbal communication) provide the material from which I source my imagery.” Andrew Denton Multimedia artist, Fabricator, Woodturner Andrew is the behind the scenes man for the Arts Fest, creating the display screens and hanging the exhibition each year, Andrew has been an invaluable support to the all girl team. |
