ArtDog is very pleased to announce that Liz Charsley-Jory is now the Artist in Residence at the Dulwich Picture Gallery. She will be having a solo exhibition at the Gallery in 2012.
“After many years working as a theatrical prop maker and set decorator I returned to making drawings full-time in 2006 and completed an MA in Drawing at Camberwell College of Art in 2008. I had been making colourful oil pastel landscapes in the years before the MA course, but switched to working monochromatically in graphite and charcoal, referencing the archival black and white photography of the Thames, my subject matter for the MA”.

Views from Across the Pond, jointly with Dawn Stofer, at Hornby Island Hall, BC, Canada, 2010
I have continued to develop my Thames series, and renewed my interest in documenting the wilds of the small island in western Canada where I spend my summers. Both series touch on idealistic notions of 18th century romantic painters, and invite the viewer to potentially experience a sublime connection with nature through its contemplation.
