ABOUT: STRIPY ARTSUZANNE WHITMARSH

Its not all about stripes but they do play a big part in my work.

I enjoy painting landscapes that are instantly recognisable but modern and striking in design.
The stripes are painted freehand in acrylics on canvas.
I have been experimenting with Farrow and Ball paints lately, they have a great range of colours and are lovely to use for all styles of painting.
Next up.....acrylic gouache. I think this will suit my style very well.

I am self taught due to a genuine love of experimenting with paints and techniques.
Painting stripes can be intense work and sometimes feel the need to paint in a freestyle.
I love anything retro and have also painted portraits in a pop art style in acrylic or gouache.

I love meeting you all when I'm selling my work at shows, I enjoy hearing your comments about my work.
It is often remarked that my painting style is reminiscent of the old railway posters,
so I have been digitally designing a range of travel style posters.
You can now purchase them here at Stripy Art.
