Connie combines her printing knowledge with traditional painterly techniques.
Connie obtained her BA in Fine Art at Loughborough University where she experimented with printed, photographic and painted works. This led to her teaching Printmaking at the Leicester Print Workshop after which she moved to Glasgow to pursue a Masters in Print at Glasgow School of Art, combining her printing knowledge with traditional painterly techniques. Connie is founder of the G20 Artist Collective, and has work in private collections in both the UK and Europe.
Connie draws inspiration from cold-water swimming. This acts as a kind of therapy where she immerses herself fully within the landscape. She's influenced by the French Impressionist Movement and looks to Romantic artists such as Friedrich and Turner. Connie also explores elements of Japanese aesthetics, finding comfort in softness and natural unpolished materials as well as the Scandinavian theory of Hygge (togetherness).
