Aileen Henry made the decision to attend one of Fraser Taylor’s drawing workshops in 2021, reignited her lifelong interest in art and design.  Principally as a result of having never explored any creative route since leaving school some thirty years previously. Aileen has embraced her inner creativity and is excited to continue on this journey of learning and exploring aspects of contemporary art. Aileen draws on her West coast of Scotland vernacular for inspiration in her work with both land and seascapes. Mainly working in charcoal, pencil, watercolour and acrylics. She attends an art group at the Beacon Arts Centre, Greenock, which is facilitated by artist Beth Shapeero and is also a member of an Art Group which she attends regular life drawing classes. Aileen is excited to advance her practice further, exploring different aspects of design, with processes, materials and mediums such as mono-printing and mixed media.
