Rita Herbert

In October 2013 I became Artist In Residence for Hotham Park in the centre of Bognor Regis and produced numerous drawings and paintings of various aspects of the Park.

Travel abroad has also influenced my choice of subject matter and I'm particularly interested in volcanic and geothermal activity. 

I use Harlequins in some of my work as a universal symbol  for  humanity. Recently I've turned my attention to climate change and have done a number of paintings about this.

Drawing and sketching were strong elements in my training at Nottingham College of Art and I continue to use sketchbooks as source material for many of my paintings.
