Simone Dawood
Simone's work takes its inspiration from the landscape that surrounds her. She works mainly in oils on hand stretched Belgian linen. Recently and through lockdown Simone has been exploring some mixed media and print techniques.
Having done a little volunteering in the archaeology department of Swindon Museum and Art Gallery a while back, she thought it would be interesting to experiment with merging the pieces from the collection; flints, axeheads, loom weights and other everyday tools with the broader landscape in which they were found. This has resulted in some interesting and playful mixed media work. You will also find some more familiar bold colourful landscape paintings and prints which you might more associate with Simone's previous work. The Studio is a space for making rather than a gallery so please don't expect too much tidiness. There will be sketch books and experimental work in progress as well as a small hung display and greetings cards.
