Kay Leverton ~ Artist in Scraperboard…Art from the Soul

I came to Wales, UK in 1982 and have been living in Tredegar very close to the Brecon Beacons National park for the last 16 years.

I am a self taught artist for whom the whole of life is a creative process to take part in consciously.

I have been painting and selling art since 1996 and until recently have been known mostly for my Pastels and Acrylics.

In early 2010 needing to sit down for a change I got out a pack of Scraperboard, bought some time ago and my recent work is in this medium.

It is a new love affair, a tool to explore my love of line and detail and the intricacy of the natural world. To scratch away the ink and reveal the creamy chalk underneath, to make up a work out of thousands of tiny lines, this really excites me.

I also look forward to exploring Linocut and etching which appeals to me and will be a new challenge, however, I’ve no where near finished my journey with Scraperboard.

So many subjects call to me for a chance to emerge from the black into the light. Watch this space!

All the original works shown on this site are for sale unless marked as Sold.

Please e-mail or telephone me from the contact page for price details.

I have a full after sales service, if there is any problem with the work, framing, hanging cord etc you just have to get in touch.

Of course you wouldn’t dream of putting your art in full Sunshine, over a fire or in the damp etc would you?

As my website goes into a new era of on-line shopping I am coming to terms with this new connection with you all.
I send out my sincere thanks to those of you who have supported me in many ways throughout this exciting journey.
