Gwen Spinks

“I have been collecting and selling art, as well as working with artists, for most of my adult life … then came acrylics!”

In November 2011, a turning point happened when artist Sheila Norgate put up a blank canvas and said “just throw some paint on it.”

Well, … I had no idea that was the beginning of a whole new career.

Gwen loves everything about working with acrylics. Using palette knives to create rich textures; rags to create moods and contrast; brushes to explore the rest.

“I love everything about it, including the frustration of “not knowing” what to do or where the piece is going … I love acrylics!”
