We are delighted to have a wonderful display of paintings by one of our studio tenants, Jan Petrie.

Jan Petrie is a fine art painter now living near Painswick in Gloucestershire. Her work has been exhibited in solo and group shows all over England and is held in private collections in the UK and overseas.

In what she describes as semi-abstract style, her images are deeply rooted in and inspired by the English countryside as well as some of the extraordinary places she has visited. She aims to convey a pared-down, elemental sense of place and mood – the impressions that linger on in the memory. Working in water-based oils, Jan sometimes bonds copper, gold or aluminium leaf onto sections of the canvas for their aesthetic qualities – the specific light they then lend to the finished surface. For the same reason, she often incorporates raw earth pigments and pumice or stone particles into the wet paint.
