Shelley Morrow - Contemporary Artist
I am predominantly a figurative artist but often explore both rural and urban landscapes. My main medium is watercolour which I like to use as a fluid form, capturing the atmosphere of a place or the gesture of a person rather than a precision representation. My work often spills over into textiles such as embroidered drawings or simple craft items. I have a MA in Fine Art and an appreciation of both conceptual art and craft so my work often blurs the boundaries between the two.
I run regular classes and workshops at Draw in Brighton and have taught in London at the Camden Arts Centre and for travel companies engaging tourists with urban sketching.
You can see the timetable at Draw for my regular sessions here at: https://www.draw-brighton.co.uk/timetable
