Sophie Manns
Warden Hill, Northumberland

£85.00

Warden Hill, meaning ‘Look-out Hill’ or Watch Hill, was an Iron Age hillfort above Warden and High Warden, Northumberland. It overlooks the rivers North Tyne and South Tyne and provides all-around panoramic views across the valley. It is believed that the hill was used to give early warnings of marauding Romans, Vikings, and in later historic times, the Scottish. I painted this during my final year of university after walking through the landscape on a visit home.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Sophie Manns

We are delighted to welcome Sophie Manns to the Wallington Gallery, a talented young artist who describes her work as follows;

I am a local artist, who recently graduated in fine art from Leeds Arts University. Inspired by the dramatic Northumberland landscapes, I strive to capture the power, awe and wonder of the countryside and coastline through painting. I am heavily influenced by JMW Turner and the Sublime. I use oil and acrylic paint to create realism/abstract contemporary landscape paintings.

Exhibitions: Fronteer Open exhibition, Sheffield, December 2021.
