Krysia Drury

Krysia Drury, the London born daughter of a Polish father and an English mother, was a fine art student at the prestigious Camberwell School of Art in the late 60s.

Her dynamic contemporary paintings are inspired by shapes, colours and textures found in nature, especially of plants and flowers. Krysia's vibrant watercolours are painted on Khadi paper which is hand made in India. They combine chance effects with deliberate techniques. Her powerful acrylics are painted either using flat designs or make use of mixed media to provide energetic textured areas.

In her work Krysia aims to convey exuberance and joy through the use of colour composition and line. She is inspired by the work of, amongst others, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Bonnard, Matisse, Nolde, Howard Hogkins and Ivon Hitchens.
