Bronwen Findlay

South African 1953- 

Bronwen Findlay was born in 1953. She received four degrees from the University of Natal in Pietermaritzburg: a Bachelor of Arts in History and Art History (1980), Higher Diploma in Education (1981), Honours in Fine Art (1989), and Master of Fine Arts (1994). Thereafter she taught at schools, tertiary institutions, and non-government organizations and made art – oil paintings on canvas, printmaking, and mosaic commissions. Findlay's first solo exhibition was in 1977 at the Walsh Marais Gallery in Durban and she has continued exhibiting both nationally and internationally since. Stories and photographs continue to play an important part in Findlay's work. She weaves stories into her paintings as she paints and documents places she has experienced and things she has seen. She is inspired by other artists; glimpses into a world of Giotto or of Hokusai or 12th century tapestries will emerge alongside her immediate world. Binding all this together is colour – she likes to manipulate paint or printing ink so that her colours ‘sing’.
