LAUREN AVERY HUTTON
Painting allows Lauren to explore various concepts of colour, varying
textures and brushwork to best depict her vision. Beyond the
composition of the painting, her main focus is colour… saturating,
sensual, vibrant, intoxicating. Her application of colour is firstly
expressive, and secondly theoretical. She is always observing and
thinking about light; painting with colours to uplift and give energy.
Lauren starts with a pre-conceived idea and lets the colours of the
pigment develop instinctively. While she paints for herself, she also
hopes that some of her paintings will be psychologically uplifting
and environmentally enhancing to the viewer as well.
Lauren graduated from Skidmore College in the U.S. with a B.S. in
Art. She is currently painting landscapes (also people as landscape)
mostly in oil, but continues to paint in acrylic, as well as watercolour
depending on the composition.

I chose to paint this image for a number of reasons.
Digswell Arts Trust / Fenners is a near neighbour of Chris-Teas Tea
Room, which perpetuates a quintessentially British tradition.
Tea Rooms in early Letchworth would have been similar. I researched
Arts and Crafts patterns and colours to paint on the china, as
Letchworth has an important place in the Arts and Crafts period.
