“This is the first exhibition of my work. Previous sharing of my work has been limited to close friends, family and more recently social media.

I have had an interest in drawing and pattern making since I was a child, using it as an escape. I chose not to study Art at school in favour of academic subjects but returned to Further Education in my 20s to study Art, Art and Design and finally Printed and Woven Textiles. There are many artists that influence my work. From J. M. W. Turner, Georges Seurat, Claude Monet, Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Bridget Riley, Victor Vasarely, David Hockney and Jackson Pollock; to street artists and graffiti artists Kaser, Boogie, Disek, Arsek Erase and Aceunojoint; the common factors being the use of colour, texture and design.

The work on display here began 5 years ago when I was recovering from a serious injury. Art became an important focus for me, allowing me to be mindful, clear my thoughts and concentrate on creative ideas.” - Iain Carter
