| Welcome to River View Studio featuring
original art in a range of media and styles by
Bernice Barrett-Brown.
Here you will find a wide variety of
subjects painted by Bernice including canal and river scenes; some of
which have recently been launched as limited edition giclee prints
numbered and signed and which are available for sale on-line from this
web site.
Bernice was born
in Merseyside and studied for a degree in Fashion and Textiles in
Liverpool, narrowly missing John Lennon as he left the term before! She
achieved international success as a freelance designer in the home
furnishings market producing designs for wallpapers and borders as well
as bedding, curtains, blinds and upholstery fabrics. Her participation
in exhibitions in London, Paris, Frankfurt and New York, Lille, Seoul
and Tokyo resulted in worldwide sales.
With a background in textile design
Bernice’s experience in her use of drawing and painting along with her
strong sense of colour, texture and pattern has resulted in a
versatility in styles and techniques. Seeking all the while to expand
her skills her passion for fine art has allowed her greater freedom of
expression than the technical constraints of design. She paints in a
variety of media, sometimes favouring one more than another but tending
to prefer oils and acrylics although she is equally at home with
gouache, water colour, pastels and pen and ink. Her paintings are in
private collections in the U.S.A. and Canada as well as in the U.K.
The gallery will be added to as more
paintings are completed and Bernice hopes that your visit will be a
pleasure and an experience you will wish to repeat. |
