Tori Ratcliffe
I am an Edinburgh based artist, born and bred in Hampshire. I was
first introduced to watercolours by my aunt when I was 21, but was too
impatient for the traditional method of painting so I developed my own
unique style; applying the paint first in a loose expressive manner and
then drawing the fine details afterwards in pen. This lively painting
style enables me to express the life and vitality of my chosen subject,
with the pen strokes working to contradict the chaos of the paint,
anchoring the piece together. It’s great fun watching the splodges of
paint slowly turn into an animal.
