Paul Presents Chats With Isobel Pigott

After studying Fine Art at Reading University, Isobel continued to paint and exhibit for a few years.  

She then channelled her creativity in a different direction when her family were young and re-trained as a garden designer, happily combining her two passions, painting and gardening.  

Isobel has now returned to painting full time.

Early inspiration came from village life and the surrounding countryside of West Berkshire where she lives.

She has also spent a lot of time in Cornwall and completed a series of work based on the harbours at Mousehole and Porthleven.

More recently Isobel has been focusing on the human form.

Colour is her passion.

She works in different media, including oil, acrylic, watercolour, pastel and paper cut-outs.

She approaches her work with instinct and ‘gut reaction’ and finds creating a piece of art a very physical and emotional experience.  

Her work is bold and expressive.
