Carrie Gayfer

About Carrie:

My fascination with animals has always been there. A desire to create with colour has always been there. The two are married happily together in my work. The bulk of my artwork subject matter is animal themed, and I have tried to combine both the wonder of the beast and the love of colour in a way which I hope draws the viewer into a slice of time and space, capturing a fleeting moment in the life of each.

I am drawn to create a play of light and dark, often using intense colours placed beneath the more subtle details which overlay them. These contrasts enable me to depict depth or shine of fur, hardness of bone, the deep glow of an eye, or the suggestion of sunlight on the subject.

My work is created using pastels on sanded paper, with the occasional piece being a combination of pastel and coloured pencil.
