Art on a Postcard Winter Auction, Lots 101-200

About 

Tyga is a painter and printmaker with drawing lying at the heart of her practice. She uses the directness and urgency of drawing from life as a springboard for all her work. She explores the feeling of being overwhelmed through her drawing, finding her subjects in movement and in the sublime. She couples the spontaneity of the moment with returning to places again and again, allowing memory and imagination to permeate.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork 

The drawing is made with chalk pastel, remembering swooping gannets over the Irish Sea. I love the speed of their flight over the mass of jewel waters.
