Margaret Peart
Norley
Although I have lived and worked in Liverpool for many years, most of the ideas for my paintings have been produced while travelling in Britain and abroad.
Concepts I have always used landscape imagery in my work as a means of representing those human conditions and emotions reflected in the elemental forces and cyclic changes found in nature. Although my paintings are concerned with the darker elements of Mans psyche, I continue to convey a sense of optimism.Influences My mixed media works on paper, drawings and oils on canvas refer to culture i.e. Etruscan, Anasazi (New Mexico). Influences: Edward Burra, Helen Chadwick, Ken Kiff, James Turrell, Paul Nash.Career path Foundation course - Sheffield College of Art 1968-69 BA Degree - Falmouth School of Art 1969-1972 PGCE Art and Design - Liverpool 1972-1973 Full time teacher of art untill 1991.
