Lesley Birch

Born Glasgow 1958.

Lesley Birch’s paintings are as much about her mood as they are about her subject. Whether it’s a bouquet of flowers from her garden or a vast dramatic landscape sky, it’s the gesture and emotion of a painting which interests her. She likens her work to music. Calligraphic scribbles and sweeping brush marks flow on paper and canvas straddling the boundary between abstraction and figuration. Lesley works from her garden studio and a shared collective studio in York, of which she is a founding member.
