Alison Chaplin

I am a full-time artist and I paint in oils and acrylics on canvas. I live opposite Epping Forest and find the forest a constant inspiration for my art. Recently I have been exploring the effects of the light within the forest. The shadows playing upon the forest floor and the shadows cast by the leaves on the tree trunks. I paint and sketch in the forest and also use my own photographs to aid me in my compositions. My art training was in London and I have exhibited widely. My work is in private collections in UK and USA. Recent solo exhibitions include 'Stone Space Gallery, London E11, 'The Artefact Gallery' London W1, 'The View Gallery' London E4, '54 The Gallery' London W1, 'Gallery 27 Cork Street' London W1.
