Artist Review / / Este MacLeod

I am thrilled to be able to share some inspirational art and design with you every Tuesday morning as Rachael’s ‘Art and Creative Writer’. This week, we’re featuring the gorgeous paintings of Este MacLeod.

Este is a British painter and applied artist living in Berkshire. Her paintings often explore simplified, domestic still lives which are subtly distorted into a flattened perspective. She uses complimentary colours, layered paint and a variety of scraping techniques to add texture to her work.

As an Arts Council England advisor, Este promotes art in the community in addition to exhibiting and accepting commissions. You can see more of her work on her website. P.S. many thanks also go to Carolyn Gavin (one of my favourite ‘pinners’) for alerting me to Este’s work through Pinterest. More next week! Justine x
