CORRIE CHISWELL

Award-winning artist, Corrie Chiswell, combines figurative work and landscape in her narrative portraiture. She draws inspiration from folklore, classical mythology, historical events, literature and song while her sitters channel hybrid forms, angels, selkies, sirens and characters from fairytales. She is equally comfortable in observational painting of form, often with a surreal slant, which is magnified in her dreamscapes, full of symbolism, where she uses the canvas as a portal to other worlds.
