Mary Randle's paintings show her love of flowers, her fascination with glass and the play of light.
Aylsham-based Mary Randle has been an art lover all her life. A turning point for her and her career was the enthusiastic reception her paintings received in 2013, when she exhibited in the Norfolk and Norwich Open Studios programme.
Whenever possible, she paints flowers cut from her own much-loved garden, placing them in glass vases and capturing the interplay of light and dark, opacity and transparency, and of natural and man-made elements. Whereas she formerly worked in oils, she now prefers acrylic; this has enabled her to adopt a faster, looser more vibrant style in her paintings, which, though compact in size, burst with life.
