"The paintings in this exhibition are inspired by visits to the English coast, and my love of the sea. They explore the way weather affects colour, form and movement. I currently work part-time at Family Rights Group (FRG) here in the Print House. I’ve spent most of my adult life as an artist disguised as a senior manager in the charity sector, as well as a mother to three sons. I left full time employment ten years ago to make more time to paint. I paint because I need to. That need comes from a love of the creative process and the insights and gifts that the process of creating can bring. My inspiration comes from life events, feelings and emotions, ideas, and sometimes people and places and objects. My work tries to evoke the essence of the subjects – emotions, energy and feelings rather than a straight reproduction." For more paintings see doritbraun.com
