Jackie Coyle

I am a painter and mosaic artist living and working in Shropshire. 

My work revolves around my response to the landscape, here in Shropshire and further afield in the UK. I am fascinated by the forms and shapes in the landscape, formed over time by nature and as a result of human interaction with the land. I am interested in the memory or sense of a place rather than trying to capture an accurate representation.

This ancient and fascinating art form took hold of me about 12 years ago. My fine art (painting) background has played a significant role in my mosaic work, which is constantly developing. I like to experiment with different materials and styles to create visually tactile pieces. I work in oil paint and mixed media, adding and removing paint, creating layers and texture, building up a story on the canvas..
