Merylin (Merry) Hinsley

I live in the wonderful creative town of Bridport. I have travelled widely, lived in beautiful Scotland, spent years working at sea. I feel truly blessed to live where I do and to have had such a creative life, long may it continue to be so.
My initial training was as a Theatrical Costumier in London. What a time – Tu Tu’s, Pantomime Dames, the addictive smell of greasepaint! and many many dramas! Lets say that was the start of a very ‘colourful’ life – ever changing.
There was always a desire to return to my first love – pure Art.
I am here now and delighted to have time to give to my work – Oils are my favourite medium and a palette knife will always make an appearance, like a signature to dot my i’s & cross my t’s. There is nothing like the feeling of being immersed in a painting… taken over, trusting my skills, my heart. Its unique.
I have sold work through Dorset Exhibitions.
