Ali McWatt
ALI’S EXPERIENCE IS IN THEATRE WARDROBE DESIGN AND FASHION & TEXTILES. SHE IS CURRENTLY HEAD OF ART & DESIGN IN A LOCAL COLLEGE.
THE WORK SHE IS PRODUCING NOW IS INSPIRED BY A RECENT TRIP TO THE SKELLIG REGION OF IRELAND, WHERE THE LIGHT AND SCENERY HAVE A MESMERISING EFFECT AT THE WATER’S EDGE AND CLIFFTOPS.
IN RESPONSE TO LIVERPOOL’S YEAR OF THE SEA, THE PAINTINGS SHE PRODUCED IN GOUACHE AND WATERCOLOUR REFLECT THE MAGIC OF THIS WILD AND BEAUTIFUL AREA. INFLUENCES ARE DIEGO RIVERA, DEBORAH KING, ART NOUVEAU AND OCEANIC ART.
