Sally Hirst
Norwich, Norfolk
My work reflects the shapes, colours, lines and textures of places I visit and journeys I embark upon.
MessageOriginally from London I now live and work in Norwich UK. Graduated to Masters level I have decades of experience as both an educator and exhibiting artist. I have work in collections worldwide.
Statement
My work is about journeys; those that I take and the journey that the artwork has been on in my studio. The textures, colours and structures of each environment dictate the development of my artwork which whilst predominately abstract are based on reality. The shapes and lines are born from places and objects, broken down and transformed into something new. I use this interplay between marks and materials to create tensions and sensations, sifting through then piecing together and coaxing out the final image. I invite you to pause a while, to take your own journey through the narratives I create.
In addition to creating artwork I help artists of all levels on their creative journey through a range of popular, and transformative online courses.
