Welcome

Having originally studied at the London College of Printing and Goldsmith’s College, Bernadina taught Art and Design for 15 years at both FE and HE levels. Her work has sold privately and commercially in the UK at shops and galleries including Liberty, the South Bank Centre and Leeds Craft and Design Gallery, and it has sold in Sweden, Germany, France, New York and San Francisco.

After previously studying Graphic Design and illustration, Bernadina completed a three-year textile course in 2005. She continues to make, fiddle and sew, and pursues long-standing thematic interests through the processes of painting and drawing.

Current Work

The paintings shown on this page reflect Bernadina’s long-standing fascination with the textures and layers of information revealed by looking at the world from above or from a distance.

Expanses of rock appear as a constant flattened backdrop to the changing activity that occupies the land. Field divisions appear as squares, regular and constrained, while what happens within those boundaries can be static or organically changeable, day by day.

Buildings, old and new, appear in various stages of development or decay, and echoes of former settlements cut across the new order.
