YORK artist Isabel Wakeman is exhibiting paintings at Treasurer's House, Minster Yard, York.
Isabel began to paint in between bringing up her family and working as a social worker, and attended evening classes before studying fine art at York College from 2002 to 2004.
For the past two years, she has worked in acrylics and oils, seeking to achieve "a creative tension between the paint and colour and the form, while trying to move towards an almost abstract image without completely losing the starting point".
Isabel exhibited at the Friends' Meeting House in 2004 and the Blake Head bookshop in 2005 and she took part in York Open Studios last month.
Her latest show runs until May 10; the exhibition is closed on Fridays.
