Artists > Terry Preen
I am self taught with no formal training having painted
most of my life as what might be termed a ‘Weekend Painter’
I retired from full time employment in 2012 and at last
found the time to pursue the occupation that I love and now paint more or less
full time.
I moved to Stamford from South London in 2014 and have
been inspired by my new surroundings spending many hours, brush in hand,
painting the streets, buildings and people of this beautiful town and its
surrounding villages. I also have a love for rural and coastal scenes and love
to paint along the North Norfolk and Northumberland coasts when the opportunity
presents itself.
I work mainly in oils and watercolour and prefer to
work in front of the subject, en plein-air, where possible rarely working from
photographic reference.
I am a member of the Brass Monkeys, a plein air
painting group that meets regularly to paint in and around London regardless of
the weather and an exhibiting member of the Welland Valley Art Society.
Since moving to Stamford I have exhibited in the Gallery
Stamford and Stamford Arts Centre, in former years I have exhibited in London
and on the Isle of Wight.
