Lesley Peatfield: My Journey to a Parallel Life
We are delighted to welcome local artist photographer Lesley Peatfield as guest speaker at our meeting in the Studio Theatre at York Theatre Royal.
Lesley specialises in abstract digital art, creating stunning images, often using images taken on her phone. She was awarded the LRPS in 2019 and the APRS in 2020 for her experimental ‘Parallel Lives’ series, featuring street scenes and architecture created on her iPhone using the Photosplit App.
Lesley started as a landscape photographer and slips effortlessly between abstract and more traditional photography. She will share her artistic evolution with us.
According to Lesley, “I have a passion for photography and spend most of my spare time taking pictures, downloading and working on them….. I love making images of landscapes, abstracts or whatever catches my eye.”
Lesley has had exhibitions in York and her work has also been shown in Nottingham and the Lake District. She also has an image currently touring the UK with the RPS Landscape Group outdoor exhibition. Other exhibitions coming up this year include The City Screen in York and the Edinburgh Photographic Society.
She also contributes to the Pocklington Area Open Studios and is taking part in the York Open Studios for the first time this year.
You can see more of Lesley’s work on her website and Instagram pages. You will love Lesley’s abstract but immediately recognisable and iconic images of York.
Visitors are welcome (£5) and should contact Julia for more information or to book a place.
