Dawn Pugh
I create contemporary art work which is suitable for modern living spaces and commercial businesses. I work in acrylics and industrial enamels to create work on many different scales to suit different design concepts and colour schemes.
Concepts and ideas:
I work from my memory and imagination. I find that the impulses to create the works are personal responses to a variety of stimuli such as nature, the memories of places, music or poetry. My creative ideas are heavily influenced by my background in theatre. I treat the canvas as a stage and use colour, movement and textures to capture live ‘improvisation' by using the paint as a vehicle for ‘freezing time'.
Education:
I trained at Huddersfield University completing a BA in Theatre Studies, a PGCE and an MA in Multimedia and Education.

I work on a variety of educational and community based projects. I am planning to run some short courses for small groups from my studio at my home in Marsden. This will take place from the spring of 2007. I will publish details on the Online Gallery. If you are interested then please get in touch with me. I will be running courses at different levels that cover both the theory and practice of contemporary art.
