Deborah Windsor @ The Brewhouse
Recent paintings and prints by Deborah Windsor
The Brewhouse at Burgundy’s, 19 Lowther Street, Kendal, LA9 4DH
Wednesday 1 February to Sunday 29 April 2012
Deborah is a painter, printmaker and mosaicist. After completing her arts degree, she co-founded Windsor and Ball, a contemporary ceramic design workshop in Portobello Green, London and has since exhibited widely, teaching art in therapeutic situations, and running her own contemporary art gallery. These most recent paintings and limited edition prints are inspired by living in the hamlet of Lowgill, near Sedbergh for two years: paintings of spring flowers in old jugs; jam jars of wildflowers gathered on summer walks; collagraph prints of the swifts arriving…
“I like to paint things that make me feel good: flowers, birds, gardens, landscapes, animals… I aim to complete my paintings in a day but sometimes scraping off and repainting, sometimes going back months later to complete them or reworking over a previous canvas to create something new. Colour and texture are important to me; I love thick paint and the physical statement of visible brush strokes.”
The Brewhouse is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10.30am – 5pm.
The Brewhouse is a dedicated Green Door Gallery

Most of Karen’s work is based on direct observation. She makes studies – usually in Chinese and Indian inks or gouache – then develops these into paintings. She works outside and has worked in locations such as the woods around the River Kent or the west coast of Scotland; she also works from still life.
“Sometimes a finished painting is an amalgam of ideas, coming from several sources. Once the study is made I try to work from these only, concentrating on the qualities of colour and marks. I also like to make work of a narrative nature – telling small stories in my paintings.”
The Brewhouse is open Tuesday to Sunday, 10.30am – 5pm.
