Kirsty Wither Biography
Born in 1968
| 1986 - 1990 | Gray's School of Art, Aberdeen |
Kirsty Wither's studio is a riot of colour, of canvases on every wall, of brushes and palette knives on every surface. Yet appearances can be deceptive, for the paintings which Wither creates here are well thought out, expertly made, while at the same time maintaining that all important ability to excite.
Inspired by nature, Wither paints from memory, allowing the painterly qualities as much importance as the subject. The paint surface is gradually built up to make a rich, almost sculptural surface.
Since graduating from Grays School of Art in Aberdeen in 1990, Wither has had numerous successful exhibitions and her work now hangs in many private collections in addition to prominent corporate and public ones.
In 2004 Wither was elected an Artist Member of the Chelsea Arts Club.
