Lucy Squires-Wilson

I am a self taught portrait and figurative artist, living and working in rural Galloway, South West Scotland

My inspiration comes from hearing stories or memories, especially from childhood and I love the challenge of recreating an image that generates the feeling and mood and a curiosity to know more. Memories are an endless source of inspiration and I never tire of creating new work.

My paintings are created using soft pastels.  I love their versatility and with their high pigment, they have been proven to outlast oil paintings with their vibrancy. I use them in stick form for mark making, drawing and blending or I mix them with alcohol or water to create light washes or even a thicker paint depending on ratios.

The ability to use my hands to blend and sometimes adding materials like sand for texture, gives me a sensory creative satisfaction.
