Meet Gillian, Plein Air & Landscape Oil Painter Based in Somerset

Gillian has painted all her life; she paints and uses the full richness and resonance of oil paints to create her well-constructed and convincing compositions, which typify and evoke the tranquillity of our quiet landscapes in England.

Much of her work is now inspired by her surroundings in Somerset, but the opportunities presented by her frequent travels to Europe and beyond have given her the chance to adjust her Palette.

Gillian is passionate about painting, and seizes every opportunity to pick up her paints and ‘get out there’ for her next project. It is primarily through carefully observed and sensitively handled colour that she produces her work.

Gillian has exhibited at the Mall Gallery, The Institute of Oil Painters, Bankside Gallery, Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy, The Society of Women Artists, and many other Galleries.

Since moving to Somerset in 2019, Gillian has exhibited at the Bath Society Annual Exhibition, Bruton Art Society, Bath & West Show, Frome Art Society, and Sherbourne Art Society.

Visits to my Studio at Masbury, near Wells, are welcome.
