Artist of the day, July 27, 2022: Tuëma Pattie, an Irish painter (#1632)

Tuëma Pattie (1938) was born in Dublin, studied at the Belfast College of Art, the Central School of Art and Design and Morley College, London, and with Piers Ottey and Christopher Baker in Sussex, and Robin Child in Devon.

In her early days in Belfast and London, she took advantage of urban scenes as her subject matter.  She then had a long period in which she took time out to have two children and to support her husband in his career. It was a difficult to find time for her beloved painting, as was the case for many women in that era.

Tuëma has exhibited extensively at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the London Art Fair, the Royal Hibernian Summer Exhibition, the Cork Street Gallery, Art for Youth at the Mall Gallery London, London Art Fair, Chichester Open, East Hampshire Art Fair, the Jorgensen Gallery in Dublin and at Glyndebourne. Also with Kevis House Gallery, Moncrieff Bray Gallery and Rountree Tryon Gallery -  all in Petworth, West Sussex.  A Retrospective was held at The Royal Opera House Gallery, Pall Mall, London in October 2020.   

Travel has always played an immense influence on Tuëma's work, but her subject matter now tends to be taken from her surroundings in the English countryside.

“Creating a painting is half what is seen and understood and half what lies in the imagination of the artist.  As the poet or composer does with his or her act “act of creation”, the facts are there – it is how one brings them to life that is the magic.”
