Born in
1973, Esther Tyson was brought up in a small town at
the edge of the Lake District, Cumbria. She currently
lives and works in South Wales. Esther studied at
Carlisle college of Art and Design, Carmarthenshire
college of Technology and Art and then Londons Royal
College of Art. Esther has exhibited widely in the UK
and her work has also earned acclaim in London where
she was short listed for the Prestigious Hunting Art
Prizes earlier this year.
Esther is a painter whose work reflects her deep feeling for the natural world, without being sentimental. Painting from life, she seeks to capture the essence of her subject. Her painting is a response to the smell, sights and sounds. It emerges from her reactions, feelings and thoughts toward both her subject and the marks she makes.

For a moment out into the open, a 100 yards before crossing our path to continue winding through the forest. Ahead a hut for storage, of food? As I approach I found the wood splintered with claw marks,six feet high..."
