Newman, Sonia

I trained at Liverpool College of Art, studying textile design, and worked as a textile designer and embroiderer before turning to painting. I am interested in pattern and colour as they appear in the natural environment. I love flowers and exotic plants. I’m also inspired by landscape – around where I live in Killearn and in the Scottish islands. This painting is one of a series of butterfly paintings begun last year inspired by botanical prints.
