Collection: Lesley Anne Derks

Lesley Anne Derks graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1999 with a BA (hons) Fine Art Drawing and Painting.

Her early work was influenced by the lights of the Grangemouth petrochemical complex, leading her to paint predominantly cityscapes at night. More recently she has also begun to explore lights in other ways, focusing on interiors and the various lights they can convey.

Her commitment to exploring the nuances of light and shadow has also led her to experiment with new techniques and materials. She frequently uses materials such as resin, enamel paints, iridescent oil paints, gold leaf, and other mixed media to add luminosity and complexity to her compositions. This innovative approach not only distinguishes her work but also allows her to push the boundaries of traditional painting.

Lesley Anne has displayed her work in galleries throughout the UK and internationally, including in London, Hong Kong, the USA, and Australia. Her artwork has also been featured in various prominent magazines and newspapers.

She regularly works to commission and has produced work for Scottish Power and the Royal Navy.
