A mixture of; morning in the studio learning techniques with out tutor Tor Hildyard and then after lunch roaming around the estate putting our new found skills into practice.

So many views…so little time and a peacock who wanted to check on what was going on.

Happy days at Ragley.

France Brodeur – Artist Talk, Solo Exhibition and Ragley Cream Tea

France Brodeur

France Brodeur

France Brodeur’s work focuses on the abstract potential in naturalistic detail and draws out its emotional resonance for the human eye and mind. Exploring the interface between abstract and representational forms, particularly those found in nature and the human body, France Brodeur’s art looks through surface appearances to their human significance especially in terms of universal but deeply personal life experiences such as change and loss. Her art, combining different printmaking techniques – etching, monotype, collagraphy, lasertrans, linotype, and a combination of those – evokes images invested with metaphorical and emotional meanings.

Join us for an artists talk at Ragley Hall Sunday 23rd March 2014, Talk begins 2.00pm with the printmaker France Brodeur followed by a cream tea and the chance to see a solo exhibition of her art at Ragley Gallery. Artists Talk:Tickets £12.00. Discount for group bookings includes admission to Ragley Park and Gardens. To book contact Dawn ar 07889718242 or dlharrisvisualarts@hotmail.co.uk
