Haley Tompkins

Haley Tompkins born 1971 in Glasgow known for her broad range of work of  including watercolour, paintings, photography and up-cycling objects creating minimalist process as a response to the large chaotic spaces we live in, she says she looks to “ create an atmosphere, or a blurring of meaning surrounding the objects”. The traditional medium of watercolour and collections being transformed to this modern take on life-  it’s a really inspiring and interesting concept. Tompkin says she enjoys the process of getting her point across by allowing the viewer reach whatever conclusion is appropriate for them which is how i have always thought about my own work. Her focus on vibrancy and allowing the paint or objects to talk for themselves and create new possibilities and identities for all objects and subjects is again always something i inspire to do.
