The Dunmow Art Gallery


 

Rosemary Humphries

Rosemary is co-proprietor of the BoatyardGallery, with her husband, David.

Rosemary has painted all her life, having specialised in water-colour in the early years. More recently, she held two ‘one-man’ exhibitions, at the Pin Mill Gallery in 1996, and at the Ipswich Tourist Information Centre in 1997.
In 1996, she won a Highly Commended Award from Alwyn Crawshaw in a competition run by the Haste Gallery in Ipswich.
Having worked on a semi-professional basis for a long time, she made the big decision in June 2001 to give up the ‘day-job’ and concentrate on painting full time.
Her aim is communication through painting, with light and feeling in the work. She works in oil, water-colour and acrylic. She is particularly interested in the uses of colour and is using the medium to speak for itself in the work. She is working on responding to landscape in terms of shapes and colour to convey the spirit of the subject.

A selection of work is on show at the Boatyard Gallery, but her portfolio of broader themed work can be seen on request.

High quality prints are available.

She has studied with Ken Cuthbert, Charlotte Stewart and Margaret Glass.

She worked on the Children’s Activity Week in August 2001, and the Suffolk Show in June 2002, helping the children to produce large mosaics. One can be seen in the Felixstowe Leisure Centre main hall. She is working on the design of a memorial to the victims of the 1953 floods, to be sited in Felixstowe.
