Introducing Andrea

Hello and thanks for visiting. I am a contemporary artist based in beautiful North Yorkshire. I work from my studio at historic Newby Hall and with both the Moors and the Dales on my doorstep, I'm surrounded by inspiration for my paintings.

I believe that all art tells a story. The aim of my art is to capture the images of our lives and the places we love through colour, light and shade

I am represented through the following Galleries:

The Old Courthouse Gallery, Ambleside. Lake District
The Gallery, Malton. North Yorkshire
Longitude Gallery, Clitheroe. Lancashire
Spectrum Framers & Gallery, Thirsk. North Yorkshire
The Ashburn Gallery, Ashburton. Devon
Art Unlimited, The Gallery, Bridport. Dorset
Yorkshire Art Gallery, Richmond. North Yorkshire
Eden Gallery, Newburgh

My inspiration

Painting places where I enjoy spending time is a constant source of pleasure and helps me to still spend time in a place even when I'm not physically there. I relish the opportunity to really look at what's in front of me, noticing little details, capturing the 'feel' of a place as well as how it looks.

The connection with North Yorkshire is probably obvious, this is where I live and is a landscape I adore. I also spend a lot of time in the Lake District, you can feel so free in it's large dramatic landscapes. I have family in Cornwall and Devon and these beautiful landscapes occasionally pop up in my work too.

My process

I create original oil paintings with both brush and palette knife. I am predominantly a landscape artist but I do enjoy painting still life images as well.

My work sometimes starts with an image I have captured, sometimes it is directly from my imagination. I like to do a little bit of planning and sketching to visualise my idea. I spend time thinking about why this piece is important to me, what mood or emotion I want to convey and what colour palette I will use.

I use a variety of techniques in my work, mostly a traditional layered approach but sometimes 'alla prima' completing the majority of work in one sitting depending on what feel I want the painting to have.

My hope for Andrea Mosey Art

Andrea Mosey Art came about as a direct response to the Covid lockdown of 2020, having more time and energy to focus on my creativity. Having prioritised my art, I am now working full time as an artist and love being able to immerse myself in pursuing my passion of creating beautiful images of landscapes I love or things I find interesting.

My hope is that you will find a painting that speaks to you in some way. Art is one thing in the world that everyone has an opinion on, you know if you love it or hate it! A piece of art can touch your soul, can bring you joy, can evoke a memory of a time or a place or simply just make you happy. I have a painting in my hall that I stop and look at nearly every time I pass it! My hope is that you find something here that has this impact on you.
