Gertie Young  was born in Nottingham and moved to London in 1968 to study at Hornsey School of Art,  retiring in March 2016 she finally found the time to really focus on her work,  She was elected ARWS Associate of the Royal Watercolour Society 2017 & 2018.

 

Gertie describes each of her paintings as “A little journey that pushes out into the darkness”
“They evolve slowly over time.  I don't plan anything and the images arise on the paper in front of me and form themselves slowly from observation, memory and feeling”.
