Biography - Maggie Banks
The greatest inspiration behind my work and much of
my primary source material is landscape. I also work
from a variety of other sources - memories, dreams, and
emotional situations of all kinds. I attempt to portray
my personal feelings about subjects.
I am interested in creating complex, sometimes simple,
paintings based on an interaction between the man-made
and the natural world. I like to develop sequences of
work where paintings begin to explore relationships
between the subject matter and the imaginary space
within the painting.
My most recent work explores ideas about love and war,
and the effects of one on the other.
I have contributed to many exhibitions in England and
France where I was a member of the Monaco Ecole des Arts
Plastique. I spend a lot of time painting on site in
Cape Cornwall, and then later develop work and ideas
further in my studio
