Artist in the Spotlight

Venus Griffiths

Venus was awarded a scholarship to Wakefield Art College after which she was employed, in industry, as a Technical Illustrator until leaving work to become a full time mother.

After the children had grown up she returned to her own education completing a FoundationFine Arts course at Trent Polytechnic,  Nottingham and later qualifying as a teacher. Whilst in Nottingham she taught Art and Screen-printing to full-time and recreational students as well as running Art Workshops for the mentally handicapped.

Venus moved to Keswick in 1988 and took on a part-time teaching position running art workshops for Lairthwaite Adult Education Centre. She also set up her studio at home, working in watercolours acrylics and mono-screen prints. She has now given up teaching in order to concentrate on her own work which is exhibited in several galleries and invited exhibitions in Cumbria and the North-east.
