Lois Folkard Exhibition

I have drawn and painted for as long as I can remember. I studied Art and Design, full-time, at Westminster College of Education and after that fitting in part-time studies with Sir John Cass College of Art, The Slade, The Open College of Arts plus many private tutors while working full-time. My current studies are with Martin Kinnear at the Norfolk Painting School.

I have won an award in a SAA Artist of the Year competition, had my painting featured in The Artist of the Year Desk Diary and had 5 paintings in the finals last year. I have also won the Bridlington Paint-out Competition and had a piece of work accepted in The Feren’s Art Gallery, at Hull, Open Competition.

My paintings are based on my experiences, feelings and memories of being outside in a world full of beauty, power and fragility. I wish to share the colours and harmonies that I see. Our relationship with nature hangs in a precarious balance as the effects of climate change grow. I hope my paintings can be part of the growing awareness that we need to take care of the planet so we can care for humanity.
