About Delia

I am a figurative painter working directly from the subject either out in the landscape, in my car or in a studio overlooking the Suffolk coast. Larger work is produced in my studio at home from drawings and paintings. I use oils as I love their painterly qualities and the diverse colour range achieved with a limited palette. I am interested in a strong underlying two-dimensional design, and have a fascination with light, colour and mood. I particularly like the solitary figure in an empty landscape. Life drawing is an essential part of my practice.
