I continue to use my face as a starting point and when I cannot think of a subject. The face continues to change naturally with age and mood. I want the viewer to look into this face and see a record of the subject's life. You will see torn pages from note-books recording students progress, there are telephone directory information and discarded paintings. One afternoon while I was pensively ripping up personal observations/ teaching notes I accidentally soaked the pages in water and printed from them. This led to the idea of using them to create a face. Somehow this consoled me as now my note- writing was not lost but part of me and my happy years of teaching art to disadvantaged adult students.

Please visit me on : www.mariannesturtridge.com I am an art teacher by profession and enjoy the constant challenges of "problem solving" and frustration that goes with art. Teaching art has encouraged me to experiment with new approaches and draw from a history of art knowledge. My paintings seek to convey a range of human feelings from community to alienation, sometimes with a religious, mythological or fantasy theme. While teaching children with physical disabilities I explored themes on attitudes towards disability, illness and censorship. The foundation of my work is drawing, often evolving into mixed media. My painting style ranges from traditional oil and watercolour painting to experimental work in a wide range of materials including computer-based art, bas-relief and ceramics. Alongside painting I have made clay sculptures including torsos and shoes. I use my life drawings as a starting point when making clay torsos and try to capture something of the person in this work.
