The Fylingdales Group of Artists
Niahm Hanlon
When possible Niamh paints and sketches outdoors in the coastal area around Staithes and Whitby and on the Yorkshire Moors. She has also travelled and painted in Ireland, New Zealand and Cyprus. She enjoys the excitement of watercolour with its risks and dangers and the extent to which it allows for experimentation. Her work demonstrates a love of wet into wet washes onto which she imposes detail with line and tonal value. She has been influenced by the Impressionists, the Staithes Group, Chinese brush water-colourists and by English Water-colourists past and present.
She is a member of Whitby Art Society.
