Amie Haslen
I am a painter, printmaker and self-confessed neat freak. This proves difficult as I share a studio with my talented but untidy Dad! Our garden studio overlooks a pond and the rolling valley beyond. I draw inspiration from this land, my garden, and the creatures that share our home - two handsome Bengal cats and three mad spaniels. When I went away to study Fine Art at Aberystwyth University, I was struck by the dramatic ruggedness of Wales, which was the motivation behind my work there. Following graduation, I returned home to sunny Suffolk and the gentler, but nonetheless beautiful, scenery that I love dearly.
