Theresa May- I am predominantly a 2 dimensional artist. I work with a variety of mediums from acrylic, charcoal, pastel, oil and mixed media depending on the required qualities of the subject. Canvas is my preferred choice of support as it lends itself well to washes and treatments I like to apply to my work. I enjoy the process of developing a story within my pictures. Sometimes when I begin the idea is vague, but allowing the process and story to evolve is something I find very interesting and challenging. It is almost  a spiritual approach to the process of painting. I am a contemplative artist – studying, drawing, watching and listening to my subjects before I take to the canvas. I strive to have movement and evoke feeling. Composition is also important to me – I strive to make unusual placement work, and endeavour to gain balance through the development of colour and form. I live a busy life running a cattle property and organising children for school, so my life becomes a balancing act every day. But my love  of painting is irresistible and the need to express myself through art  is totally non-negotiable. It is something I am overwhelmingly passionate about. My paintings reflect the things I see in my daily life. There is beauty in everyday objects and the stories within those objects can be an interesting viewpoint for a visual artist. I love the use of colour and how it can set a mood and can compel the viewer to an emotional response. Colour can be so simple yet far more complex than you may think. There is always something to learn in art – like your life,  it continues to add depth and meaning.
