Colin Wightman

Mixed Media Artist

Since leaving Art School, art work has come second to my career as an industrial engineer. During my time in industry, I was fortunate enough to have been commissioned to do several art works but most of my design talents have been put towards industrial design. Since semi-retiring I have expanded my experience in mixed media using all types of materials and processes and now have the time to experiment and push the boundaries.

My passion is now to develop techniques and processes to improve my art work. Most recently these have included copper lattice cutting, clay ceramic sculpture and firing as well as bronze casting

Currently, I am experimenting with delicate subjects inspired by nature such as dragonflies and also structurally demanding plants.
