Having Studied painting at Leeds College in Art in the 1960's, in the last decade Rosemary Abrahams, a native of Yorkshire, England, has returned to her first love, painting on canvas. Her career as a painter has for many years run parallel to her other occupation, that of leading a Design Consultancy with an international client list. Rosemary has traveled extensively and this has widened her visual vocabulary, however it's a love of landscapes that currently inspires her. She employs a degree of abstraction in her exploration of landscapes, and this enables her to capture the quality of light that is such a distinctive feature of her work. She brings this same degree of sensitivity to her painting of still life, and more intimate scale subjects. Acrylic paint on canvas, prepared with a surface of gesso allows Rosemary the freedom to create rich textured surface effects and to use a range of paint applications from rich deep hues to the subtlest of washes. Rosemary exhibits widely in the UK and Europe, and her work is collected worldwide.
