Siobhan completed a foundation course at Falmouth college of Art in 1996 although being mainly self-taught; this aided her persistence to commence working as a professional artist.

 In 1998 Siobhan started working from Treuffe Art Studios in Redruth and has played a significant role managing the studios new expansion, helping to facilitate opportunities for other local working artists, which is now an established thriving community. Also participating in many 'Open Studio' exhibitions, Siobhan has had several solo shows in galleries throughout Cornwall generating media interest.

Artist’s Statement

 

Inspired by the environment and every day living, after visiting London ethereal figures emerged within this new body of work

 

 I try to capture the moment; physical movement, emotions and abstract ideas all combine as the paint is placed on the canvas.

 

 Working with a piece I will often splash many colours. I will work over to bring in different ideas leaving some evidence of the history of the painting before.

 

 I allow the painting to be suggestive in the way it evolves and this helps me to be imaginative within the development of the process.
