Andrea Hytch Art

BA (hons) 3D Design (Wood/Metal/ceramics)    PGCE Design and Technology

Originally from the wind-swept North Atlantic coast of N.Ireland, I spent 30 years working as a teacher of Art and Design in Derbyshire schools.

Now retired and working from my home-based studio in Matlock, I create paintings in oil and cold wax medium; acrylic monoprints and pen/watercolour illustrations.

Inspired by the local landscape, natural forms and still-life arrangements, my semi-abstract work is vibrant and richly textured. A love of colour pervades throughout my work, whereby riotous colour combinations are used to build up layers of texture to create imagery with detailed surfaces – the more you look, the more you see.
