Lydia Solomon

 

With a father who was Principal of Rochdale College of Art
and L.S.Lowry as a close family friend and frequent visitor to our home,
I grew up surrounded by Art.

Since gaining my degree at Loughborough,
I have exhibited both in the U.K. and abroad.
I have also featured in numerous publications and reference books and have been seen on commercial television.

My initial subjects tended to be the sombre streets and derelict  mills of my native Lancashire. However, since taking up scuba diving another huge source of creativity and inspiration has been the undersea world  of coral reefs.
I work with pencils, watercolour, pastels, paints, inks and dyes, as well as hand and machine embroidery techniques.
I am also very interested in re-interpreting major art movements, such as Pointillism and Impressionism, in threads and fabric.

I also undertake commissions, so if you have a favourite photograph that you would like transformed into an original art work,
or you have a particular idea or project in mind, please contact me at :
