Sorrel Wills
Dublin Lampposts - oil on canvas, 40cm x 40cm
Sorrel graduated in 1994 from University of Ulster with a BA(hons) in Fine Craft Design. She is Past President (2018 - 2020) of Ulster Society of Women Artists. She has won 3 awards for her work, has had six solo exhibitions, sells her art on her website and in local galleries, fulfills commissions and teaches drawing and painting skills to adults through art groups, Plein-Air classes, and short courses.
Sorrel’s passion in painting is to capture the effects of light and shadows.
Textures and effects of oil paint are a delight to her, created using palette knives or loose brushwork. They leave a history of the life of the painting’s construction behind them, so one feels more clearly the workings and thoughts of the artist – especially viewing the work close-up -then when stepping away, the painting shows its representational intention. Sorrel explores effects of colour relationships to convey emotions.
She also creates in pastels - the saturation of colours show many interchangeable qualities with oil paints for her.
