THERESA DOWLING FRSA

London
I am still painting in London after 35 years whilst working in the architecture & design industry https://www.fxdesign.co.uk/profile-theresa-dowling/?Top-Article-Share-Button-clicked:%20Copy%20Link

My Acme London studio has been a terrific facility for over 35 years and allowed me to develop and explore concepts, whilst continuing with  art practices outside the studio with life drawing, sketches, and water-based paintings of landscape, and hundreds of 30 second drawings from everywhere - animals, still life, colleagues at work, buildings and landscape. 

All this practice of painting and drawing away from the studio helps inform the oil-based studio canvas' which I do there. The studio has been an essential support for my obsession with painting and to explore its colour and themes. I'm a frequent visitor to London galleries and always keen to learn more art history. I am inspired by the Renaissance painters, architects and designers. And I have a love of Turner, Rembrandt, Ivon Hitchins, Helen Frankenthaler,  Joan Eardley, Joan Mitchell, Frank Bowling and so many more.

Further inspiration comes from a great conversation, or a magnificent sunrise, animals, view or landscape - in addition to other experiences of great people with thought-stopping discussions.

It's a great life thanks to art.
