DIONNE SIEVEWRIGHT
Dionne was born in 1973 in Perth. She studied Illustration & Printmaking at Duncan of Jordanstone, Dundee and graduated in 1997. She has self-determination and a love of colour and texture and has worked in a wide range of disciplines, including surface pattern design for textiles, architectural rendering and illustration. Using watercolour sketches from field trips as her reference, Dionne returns to her studio and creates the mixed media painting on either canvas or paper. She tries to develop exciting textures of vibrant layers of colours using acrylic paint and oil pastels. Dionne captures the changes of light throughout the seasons, her technique simplifies and accentuates the shapes and patterns of the land and rural buildings within it.
