New Art Gallery Opening in North Yorkshire


Welcome to Liquid Amber Art Gallery, Yorkshire

Yorkshire's newest contemporary art galleries will be opening in March 2010. We are preparing a beautiful opening collection of fine art from all over the world as well as some excellent local artists in a spectrum of styles and mediums.

Jean Feeney is just one of the artists who will be featured in the gallery, born in York, Jean now lives in the heart of highland Perthshire, but admits that some of her greatest artistic inspiration comes from a very different part of the Scottish landscape.

Her first visit to Ardnamurchan and the West Coast in 1990 Jean fell in love with the landscape, light and colour there, and these hav...e been at the center of her creative output ever since.

Her love of art stems from childhood but it wasn't until much later that she became an active artist. "I can remember that my school reports always had good art comments, but my father was very keen on science so that was the direction I took!"

When an earlier back injury deteriorated, oddly enough this gave Jean the impetus to rekindle her old love! Intensive fine art training followed and simultaneously she began to develop her own style.

Her main influences are the Scottish colourists and some of the German expressionists and, of course, Van Gogh for his love of yellow and use of thickly applied and textured paint.
Her work is becoming increasingly in demand, Liquid Amber have been in talks for while to get hold these paintings! Jean has many private and corporate collectors throughout the world.

Authenticity certificates will be provided with every painting purchased from Liquid Amber Art Gallery.
