Ailsa Addicott

Address:	4 Byron Close, Pilton, Barnstaple, Devon, EX31 1QH.

Artist's Profile

Ailsa is inspired (as are many of her contemporaries) by the gentle Devonshire countryside and is fortunate to have the Torridge and Taw Estuary plus the Atlantic Ocean on her doorstep all providing her with a wealth of material for her work.

She uses mostly Acrylic but enjoys the challenge of Watercolour and other media.

Recently she participated with a group of like minded artists in life drawing sessions experimenting with charcoal, pastel and graphite to produce a series of sensitive and individual works.

Being a member of North Devon Arts is proving to be both a useful and productive environment in which to network and further her work.

Artist's Statement

Having retired from a career in teaching I am now enjoying the time to pursue my own interests which include painting, photography and travel.

I completed an Art and Design Course at North Devon College and have attended various classes and workshops in order to experiment with a variety of media, extend my skills and develop my own style of work.

In becoming a member of Pilton, Ilfracombe and Tiverton Art Societies I have had the opportunity to meet new like minded friends.

I am having fun and learning something new each day.
