I love flowers especially big curvaceous Magnolia flowers, their shape and the wonderful way their petals command us to stare and admire their momentary heart-aching beauty; hence the title : Broken Hearted. I believe my interest in drawing people and realising a flower has the same structure of the human body was born from my school days in the art room where we drew the one flower, usually a rose, lasting a full afternoon. This Broken Hearted painting was made in the gardens of Dartington Hall (S.W. England). That particular day I had to work fast as the rain was never far away and you can see the quick strokes and frequent rain diluting the Indian ink , often giving a hurried and washed-out drawing line. When I got indoors I built on this by drawing some more lines, adding coloured tissue-paper and collaged pieces from my own works. You will notice that this work is in three sections because I cut the original work into sections but later decided it looked better as one piece. I challenge myself to try new ways but this does not always work and then I must be honest with myself, admit my mistakes and begin again.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
