Shirley Trevena RI

Red Red Amaryllis Green Glass Vase Pink Chair

Shirley Trevena has always tried to break the rules of conventional watercolour painting and over the years she has developed a wonderfully loose way of painting using a dynamic palette of colours.

Her paintings have strong compositions, unusual perspectives and, above all, strength and vibrancy in her colour compositions.

She has an international reputation and is regarded as one of Britain’s most innovative artists in the medium.

She has been a member of the Royal institute of Painters in Watercolours since 1994 and is author of 3 best selling books: Taking Risks with watercolour, Vibrant Watercolours and Breaking the Rules of watercolour.
