The Artist
Essex born, Manchester based, photographer-artist george kear
(she prefers lower case letters always!) describes herself as
an "impressionist photographer". Often reworking her
images using 'Photoshop' software, though her work can
stand alone without retouching or computer-based image manipulation
and enhancement.
george says:
"Art
materials are malleable and impressionable. I can impose my
view of the world there and step back while an image creates
a life of it's own using my ideas, preferences and philosophies.
I use photography because it is the quickest medium, and I am
very impatient to impart an idea once it has occurred to me.
Also, a camera is the best tool for me because I have a very
precise and exacting eye, I can frame things well and see the
importance in a detail."
Her current
themes include life and death in the urban setting and a very
personal interpretation and expression of the everyday world she
observes around her.
All of her
work is for sale and items can be purchased either printed on
mounted canvas - ready to hang, or photographic quality, glossy
paper for you to frame yourself.

NOTE
We have received many emails pointing out that george's name should
be capitalised as proper nouns. However, as this is her preferred
way of representing herself, we have respected her convention
- this by choice and NOT a typographical or grammatical error
on our part.
