Lavinia Gallie makes abstract work that draws on pattern and geometry to animate the canvas building colours through form and line. Lavinia uses a variety of media in her practice and in all, whether painting on canvas, textile or paper, her colours and compositions are carefully considered as she seeks to capture a sense of poetic meaning to the work. Lavinia says, "I rarely plan a painting in advance - it is in the act of painting that I develop a pictorial idea, which may start with something as simple as a square of colour; it is only by making and doing (and un-doing) that I can find my way to something approaching a satisfactory result."

Lavinia has a MA in Fine Art from Cheltenham College of Art. Her paintings are a regular feature in the RWA Annual Open Exhibitions and last year, her work was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition in London. Lavinia's work is held in many private collections (UK, USA, Canada, Switzerland) and as part of the public collection for the Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
