Ayse McGowan

Biography

I use oils and aim to to have a loose, impressionistic style, concentrating on each brush stroke. I try to create imagery which is emotive and sense of light is important to my work. Portraits are my passion, bringing a person’s state of mind to life (I mostly paint family members/friends) I have also more recently started painting more landscapes, natural and urban. Influences (portrait) J S Sargent, Lucian Freud, Tai Shan Schierenberg, and more recently Christian Hook.
