About
Maureen Grayson is a London-based artist specialising in mixed media abstraction. Her work delves into the captivating interplay between natural phenomena and the ever-evolving landscape. Inspired by the dynamic shifts in light, temperature, and season, she is continually mesmerised by the volatile effects these elements have on our surroundings.

Utilising a variety of substrates including wood panels, canvas, and paper, she embraces the versatility of mixed media to bring her vision to life. A fascination for the ancient trees and ponds on Hampstead Heath has been the inspiration for a series of tactile works incorporating thread, collage, and fibres.

Statement about AOAP Submitted Artwork
Two mixed media abstract landscapes inspired by The Sandy Heath, Hampstead Woods. In each work, I have used layers of collage and strands of thread/fibres to suggest the textures of the ancient gnarled trees reflecting into the wetland areas.
