About the exhibition:
After 20 years painting in oil, Geraldine has produced some new watercolours of Kenya. Before moving almost exclusively to the medium of oil painting, she was famous in the 1970’s and early 1980’s for watercolours and these new paintings present a striking development of the previous work. They catch the warm, vibrant, exciting, feeling of the Kenya Coast and the life of its people.
On show will be some of Geraldine’s work to display the importance of insects in the life of the world. These are large works painted in oil on goatskin vellum with mixed media handmade insects and other artefacts and Maasai beading carefully sewn on. A different aspect of portrayal of the living things of Kenya.
All of Geraldine’s paintings on this website are now available as high-quality prints on canvas. They catch the texture of the original as well as the vibrant colours. Over 20 of these will be on show. They can be bought one-off at competitive prices and can be any size the purchaser wants, up to the maximum size a printing machine can deliver. Prints onto other materials apart from canvas are also available.
