Jacquie Langham - painting again
My Mum started painting again in earnest recently and her paintings are now up for sale as prints at The Big Empty Wall Gallery. I'm blatantly going to copy the blurb on the Web site - because I couldn't have written it any better.
Jacquie Langham qualified as a teacher of Art and Craft at Bretton Hall. Alongside her teaching career here and in Germany, she developed as a mural and portrait artist. She and her late husband held exhibitions and opened a Gallery in Germany, showing their paintings, ceramics and jewellery. They lived and worked there for 17 years and their paintings can be seen in private collections, worldwide.
Since returning to this country, Jacquie has continued to paint portraits on commission, until quite recently, when she started to work with acrylics for the first time and became excited by the medium, producing unusual and vivid images of chillis, peppers and other vegetables. She is, at present, exploring dramatic and colourful aspects of other familiar images.
Makes me really proud to be able to point to her work and I hope you'll check out the the site for more - and larger pictures!
