ARTIST STATEMENT

 

Negative life events presents us all with a plethora of emotional responses. I explore feelings of loss, and fear and frustration and confusion and anxiety. The question is how to manage these responses in a way that doesn’t damage, but that strengthens resolve. For me, the first thing to do is to give these emotions a tangible manifestation that acknowledges their existence.

Marcia Patterson, born in East London and of Jamaican descent, now lives in Bedfordshire. She produces art through the medium of oil-on-board or canvas . Her art expresses how she has reacted emotionally to the events of her recent life. So her art, as she calls it, is documentarian.

Marcia’s interest in art, which developed in her years at school, peaked when she achieved formal qualifications: an O-level and A-level in art, and a Foundation course in Art and Design, and a BA Hons in 3D Design at Newham Community College and Middlesex Polytechnic. After graduating, her circumstances prevented her from carrying her art over into a career. Marcia pursued certain part-time and short courses with Adult Education, which were City and Guilds in Ceramics and life drawing. She also successfully joined a figurative oil painting course at Central St Martins.
