Artworks by Geraldine Franklin

The St Ives Artists and my work in private practice as a registered Art Psychotherapist challenged my urges to unlearn everything I learnt at Art College. The thermometer-challenging qualities- rests not on its vividness, audacity, or hard earned wisdom, but it’s that I have made myself very vulnerable, and put my deepest feelings on display, that’s what people respond to. Every piece I embark on, I always feel like I am starting from scratch, on the high-wire act. Most of my paintings are abstract, some semi figurative using either acrylic or oil paint, either on oil paper or canvas. I long to share more of my oeuvre with the public I love seeing my art on peoples walls. I work at the coal face, pushing the boundaries and experimenting with shapes that may sit comfortably alongside each other or not, disruption powerfully leaps out of the canvas to delight the eye.
