Sally
MacCabe is a professional artist, living in Cornwall where she has
her Studio Gallery and also teaches art dayschools.
Since
moving from Woodstock in Oxfordshire to St Ives in 2000 Sally has
concentrated on her contemporary abstract paintings, many of which
are influenced by living in a house which overlooks the whole sweep
of St Ives Bay and Porthminster Beach directly below. This is evident
in her usual palette of subtle blues and greys which reflect the
constant changing light and weather that passes across the bay.
Recently
a new series of work has been developed based on Venice which features
arches, windows and distressed walls. Many paintings, however, evolve
from the pure joy of playing with layers of paint and mixed media
on various surfaces and feature applied papers, fragments of letters
and texts which create a rich and interesting surface and from which
many of the paintings’ titles are taken. |
