Stella Bawden Hollis

I have always enjoyed painting but this has become a serious passion in the last 5 years since completing an Art Foundation Course. I have enjoyed being part of Dorset Art Weeks with solo exhibitions on three occasions and exhibited in London as a shortlisted finalist in the British Art Prize in 2022. I love being in, on or by the sea and many of my paintings relate to the marine environment. I am drawn to the energy and ever changing moods of the sea and weather. My work is mainly abstract acrylic and mixed media, often with bold marks and with many layers. I hope to give the viewer a sense of my experience of the place and time.
