8ft X 8ft
This painting is a celebration of nature and the limitless possibilities that entail around the theme of metamorphosis and alchemy.
Painting "Berkano'' has been particularly challenging due to having Tendinitis in my dominant arm but It has allowed me to experiment with new mark making and a huge sense of expression which I have been able to explore with my other hand.
The mediums used here are acrylic and spray paint.
"Berkano" also known as "Berkana" is a rune symbol used for Divination purposes and it symbolises life, nature, protection, and new life's purposes which I feel were themes I could really connect with whilst painting this piece.
During the few days it took to paint this I was thinking about life cycles, embracing the new and the respect I have for the qualities that the natural world can offer.
Sally Green - Berkano - 240cm x 240cm
Sally is a fine art painter from Llawhaden and currently living and working in Haverfordwest. She originally started Art and Design at Pembrokeshire College, following this with Fine Art Studies at the University of Wales Institute Cardiff (U.W.I.C) and also completed a year of printmaking at University West of England (U.W.E) along with many other various courses within the arts during the course of her life.
If asked to describe her work, Sally would say that she is impressionistic. “I particularly love the effects I can use with oil paints and enjoy experimenting with the process of layering acrylics, inks and spray paints and reworking over them using oil paint, linseed oil and paint thinners. I find that this helps to create a balance between the media and colour and in recent times I found my work veering more into abstraction as I experiment further with this form.”
Sally uses colour to celebrate the bright mosaic of both our natural world and her own personal journey. One of her main inspirations is the rugged Pembrokeshire coast and the myriad of colours found in nature.
