About Artist Phyl Staunton

Born in Donegal now living in Athlone. Graduated with a BA Degree in Fine Art GMIT. Initially the source of inspiration for my painting came from memories of childhood and growing up within the environs of a railway station. My present works stem from from these themes and their development led me on to explore memories and special moments frozen in time, that one recalls at intervals throughout life's journey.
My paintings are about existence, moments passing, about the quickness of an impression, about how brief a glimpse of something one can get and still see a picture,an image, a meaning taking shape.
Working on paper using various media over the past few years I have explored this theme of memory and the transitory moment. For some paintings particularly watercolour, I like to work quickly,always aiming to capture a spontaneity, a freshness in my work. Working in other media such as egg tempera with Indian ink or acrylic paint takes more time as I build layer upon layer of pigment using thin transparent glazes, aiming to create the impression of depth and mystery within the painting.
