Liane Stevenson is a professional artist living and working in North Somerset. She trained in Fine Art, sculpture at UWE, and has continued to work within the artistic environment since then. Her work divides into three main areas, portraiture, landscape, and work inspired by the natural world. In her portraiture Liane is not concerned with a photographic likeness, but rather to capture a glimpse of the character of her subject and make a connection between the sitter and the viewer. In her landscapes she is inspired by the rhythms found in the natural and agricultural landscape, and in the architectural geometry of the cityscape. She uses mixed media and collage to represent and enhance the decorative aspect of these qualities, whist maintaining a sense of place. Liane’s interest in the natural world is really a celebration of the beauty and diversity of the World's fauna. She hopes to inspire her viewers to value and conserve our environment and the creatures within it. More recently she has been working with wood carving, a discipline she hopes to explore further.
