Gabrielle Teaney
My studies are in Photography and Art History, I am a self-taught painter and drawer. I started my career as a portrait artist then developed my creative voice during a 5 year period in Saskatchewan, Canada. After a rigorous mentorship application process, I took part in a year long mentorship which culminated in my first solo show. My work in oils are colourful, layered and geometric. They explore transitions and a sense of place by taking found structures, machinery and objects in our landscape, and superimposing them to create unusual compositions and shapes. Since then I have moved to Quebec where I completed my BA in Art History and recently back to Cornwall. Similarly to my SK experience, I have redeveloped myself in these new surroundings and completed my second solo show. I was a Cultivator Kernow member and am a CAMP member.
