Cornish Artist Diane Griffiths

From Life, Memory and Imagination...

I look for new ways to represent the familiar; using life, memory and imagination to combine identifiable elements and creative mark-making to conjure up something new. Working in a mixed media of acrylic, oil and enamel, using brushes as well as less obvious tools in order to push the boundaries of applying paint. I want people to surround themselves with things that make them smile, believing that involves tapping into memorable experiences as well as discovering something new. When I paint; nothing is completely observed and nothing is completely imagined. Between the two I aim to get the sense and the detail, and between the two, I look to introduce art into people's everyday lives by creating a story out of a moment.
