About
Gill Collier is an artist living in North Wales.
Background
I have been painting in various media since I returned to Wales in 1977, and it was a natural progression to begin printmaking in 1997. Printmaking requires similar disciplines to painting and drawing, but also demands more detailed planning beforehand. Lucky chance also plays a part, as there is a certain unpredictability introduced with the process of printmaking.
My art reflects my love of nature and gardening, and my affinity with the sea. I paint the landscapes that I know and love, along with the flowers and trees that surround me at home.

I like to experiment with different media and I recently attended a workshop on Abstract photography run by Ffion Pritchard at CARN. I hope to develop this further as it unites my love of photography and colour.
