Sadie Tierney – Fujisan 6

Mount Fuji is a recurring subject in Tierney’s work since a visit to Tokyo. Powerful symbol of a nation, sometimes crystal clear at other times lost in haze and fog, the mountain remains symmetrical and timeless in the constantly changing light.

Working in a tradition of an English landscape painter and printmaker, Sadie Tierney explores objects and places where form is linked to emotion and metaphor. Her expressive prints and paintings spring from sketches and drawings made en plein air and are marked by their celebratory use of colour and line.

Sadie Tierney was born in London and grew up in Chichester, UK. She currently lives in the Isle of Wight with her family. She studied at the Royal College of Art, MA (RCA) Fine Art Printmaking and BA(Hons) Fine Art, at Newcastle University.
