Contemporary British artist, creating original mixed media paintings inspired by places, memory, movement and the emotional connections that shape our lives.
Gill Storr creates original paintings inspired by memory, movement and the emotional connection we have with places that shape our lives.
"I paint the places that become part of our lives."
EVERY PLACE LEAVES A MARK ON US
Collectors often tell Gill:
"It reminds me of somewhere."
"Every time I look, I notice something different."
Those words describe exactly what Gill hopes every painting will become. Rather than documenting a place, her work captures its atmosphere. Rather than copying a photograph, each painting is built from journeys, memories, conversations, changing light and lived experience. The result is artwork that grows with the collector, revealing new details and meaning over time.
Every place leaves a mark on us. A city where we fell in love. A river that became part of childhood. The skyline that greeted us every morning. The street we still remember years after leaving. These are more than locations.
They become part of who we are.
Gill Storr creates original contemporary paintings that capture these emotional connections to place. Inspired by lived experience rather than photographs, each painting layers atmosphere, movement, memory and light to create artwork that continues to reveal something new every time it is lived with.
Whether inspired by the energy of New York, the changing light along the River Thames or the quiet familiarity of somewhere remembered, every painting is an invitation to reconnect with places that have shaped our lives.
