SUMMARY:Guildford Arts Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Guildford Institute and Guildford Arts are pleased to present their next exhibition from talented artists: \nANGELA ORTEGA PESTANA – PAINTER \n\nShe started painting in 2011 at the Adult Centre in Guildford on a watercolour course and after living for a few years in the UK\, she has travelled around the country visiting beautiful landscapes such as Pembrokeshire\, South Wales\, Loch Lomond in Scotland\, Lake District in Cumbria\, the Peak District and South Dales in Yorkshire as well the South Downs in South East England inspired by the nature and greenery which characterise these places.  She has also travelled extensively in Europe and her paintings represent what she has seen in these places with an emphasis on wildlife\, as a whole. \n  \nMARTIN SOUTHWOOD – PAINTER \n(see main image) \nMartin began painting eleven years ago to fulfil a promise to his younger self.  He paints mostly representational pieces in acrylics and coloured pencil. \nHe writes ‘I paint what I have strong feelings for\, and try to make that apparent in my work.  If people look at my paintings and feel something\, then\, I have succeeded.  For me\, painting is both the practice of deep observation and a meditation on the terrible damage we inflict on the world. \nPaint and Ashes – art gallery\, nature\, imagination
