LOIS HOPWOOD
Studied Fine Art at The University of Newcastle Upon Tyne 1982 – 86 and gained her MA in Screen set Design from the NFTS in 2002.
“I make big landscape drawings from small drawings of views made in sketch books on the Welsh Marches. The small images are projected onto paper joined together to emulate maps, or ply with gesso and worked up into painted drawings in the studio.The abstract paintings and drawings are about where the materials take me and at the moment have almost no colour.”
In 2010 Lois won the ING Drawing prize.
