BUFFY CRIBBS - painter, printmaker, mixed media artist

In recent years Buffy’s focus has been on 'reverse acrylic on acrylic' painting. In this technique, akin to stained glass painting, the painting gets created on a sheet of plexiglass, painting the details first, which are subsequently covered with background colors. Once done, the plexiglass is turned over to see the finished result.

Coming from a family of artists and growing up in California, Ireland and Paris, Buffy has tried her hand at just about every visual art form.

Reflecting back on her formative years and a "haberdashery life so strewn with seemingly unconnected experience which, nevertheless, seemed to add up to some kind of whole" Cribbs says: "I think if you look at my work you can see all of this there. In so much as one is the sum of one's experience, one's art is likely to be that also.

I believe that good art resonates with some innate truth. This is a quality which is essential to meaningful art; the successful handing over of an idea from one being to the next. I feel at one with my Art, not so much because I can sell it as because it moves other people and it entertains and amuses me."
