Still Life

Artist's Statement
Two years ago I achieved a lifetime's dream when I moved to North Wales from Manchester, where I had lived for the first 60 years of my life, painting mainly townscapes in oils and acrylics and etching both townscape and botanical subjects. Since moving to Wales, my palette has lightened and brightened as a result of the light here, and my painting style has become much freeer and more experimental.
In Manchester, I exhibited at the Manchester Academy of Fine Art, and in Wales, I have exhibited at the Royal Cambrian Academy, Conway; the Gwynedd Museum and Gallery, Bangor, the Beaumaris Festival Art Exhibition, Anglesey and Saint David's Hall, Cardiff.

Born in 1942, painter and printmaker FLO BRADY gained an arts degree from the University of Manchester before becoming a lecturer at Manchester College of Arts and Technology.
After retiring from teaching in 1992 she gained further qualifications in art from Bury College and Bolton Institute of Higher Education, and studied print-making at Manchester Artists Studios Association.

Her townscape paintings of Northern England, Wales and Ireland have earned her critical acclaim, and her etchings have been selected by both the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts and the Royal Cambrian Academy

Flo Achieved the dream of a lifetime when she moved in 2002 from Bury in Lancashire to Llanfairfechan near Bangor on the North Wales coast. As a direct consequence of the move, and the ber light that North Wales enjoys, her palette has become much brighter and her style more bold and free.
Flo has work in private collections in Britain, France, Belgium, Israel and Canada, and is represented by the Colin Jellicoe Gallery in Manchester.
