Ingrid Thorpe

Originally from Oslo, Norway, I have lived in England for many years.

I mainly paint in oils and I am an admirer of the 'Expressionist' school of art. I have had the good fortune to study in Essex as a mature student and in 2010 graduated with a BA (Honours) Degree in Fine Art. During the final year of my course I exhibited my work in London.

Since then I have exhibited as a freelance artist at the Norwegian Church in London and at an Italian Cafe which offers gallery space to visiting artists. I am a member of my local art society and have a studio in Hadleigh, Essex in the converted Fire Station together with many other artists providing the opportunity to exchange ideas on each other's work and also to hold exhibitions on the premises.
