Commissions

I am a painter and printmaker working in Oxford city. I make painting s and prints with the intaglio press. These are usually etchings on copper or zinc and painterly monotypes using the intense etching inks. I also run regular short courses on etching suitable for beginners or 'refreshers' at the Oxford Printmakers and day workshops at my home studio on "Exploring Print" (drypoint, monoprint, collagraph techniques). I have a small portable press which I use for outreach projects at museums and schools. See webpage rahimakenner.com

I work in oils in a bold figurative style with fluid brush work and a strong use of colour and tone. I enjoy painting the human form and portraiture is a speciality. I always show attention to detail and pride myself that I can get a likeness of anyone who sits for me.

I am equally happy capturing the intimate atmosphere of a cafe or the fleeting changes of a busy town scene. I paint what I encounter. I have put on one man shows and am also a member of Oxford Art Society where I regularly exhibit.

I've worked as an artist and illustrator for over 20 years, and I'm also a portrait artist (in both watercolour and oils), storyboard artist, and member of the Society of Architectural Illustration. My illustration website is at www.sallybarton.co.uk As an illustrator I use both traditional (mostly watercolour) and digital media, often combining the two. I particularly love Photoshop and receive quite a lot of commissions that involve using this to manipulate, as well as to create new, images.

I live and work in Oxford, where I juggle managing Magdalen Road Studios, Designing for Betty Worm, Teaching art-workshops for children and chasing commissions and projects.

My practice is involved in working with mixed media. My work has looked at the relationships between objects and people. I am interested in what role art and philosophy plays in people’s lives and it’s an effect on the world at large. I am interested in the self, the interpretation of memory and the recurring trauma.

In my film work, I have created films since the start of 2007. I am interested in using film as another form of painting to tell a narrative or as a living painting. Film like Apples, I was trying to produce and sense of wonder.
