Painter, Margate, Kent
About Wren.

In the studio, Margate.
I paint the stretch of coast I walk every morning: mud, weather, boats and the colours they leave behind.
I trained in Canterbury, worked as a scenic painter for ten years, and took a studio in Margate in 2014. Most paintings start outside as a quick sketch and are finished indoors over a few weeks.
I work in oil, cold wax and acrylic, mostly with decorators' brushes and a plasterer's trowel. Nothing is printed or made on a screen.
