Stella is a self taught artist who started painting with
Enamel on Ivorine ( imitation Ivory) and Eggshells. Her first exhibitions
were The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (Miniatures Section) and the
Medici Gallery, London.
From these beginnings she has experimented extensively
with techniques of watercolour and gouache creating a unique collection
of detailed fine work which has been widely published.
Her love of landscapes, water and sky influences her ideas and she has developed a very idiosyncratic and recognisable style. She has been developing new techniques with Acrylics over the last few years and this has inspired a collection of Landscapes and Contemporary Abstracts using oils and acrylics with applied gesso substrates , metal foils and 3d 'Objets d'art' that demonstrates a new freedom of expression. The public appreciation of these new developments suggests her work to be in the vanguard of new trends in interior design.
Some of her
previous work incorporating hand painted mounts and even "allover
painted" ,
frames included, are to be found in the
section "Archive of Golden Oldies" , these styles were the mainstay of her
repertoire for many years and most of those paintings are signed
in her ex-marriage name of Parslow-Reading, she now signs under her
maiden name of Parslow.
Stella was born in Kings Langley, Hertfordshire in 1950.
Soon afterwards, her family moved to Leighton Buzzard, where she grew up and raised a family of her own. Her two children have grown up and left home, one making a career in exhibition design, the other in marketing. Her hobbies include travel, reading, swimming and her grandchildren.
This home page gives only a glimpse of her wide ranging
artistic talent, and if you follow on to the other pages, these are
dedicated to acrylic originals, canvasses, watercolour, and pastel originals,
as available. Also, there are her Limited Edition Giclée prints
in a range of styles and sizes. She exhibits widely throughout the country and you will find her current shows here.
At the moment, these pages are still being adjusted and new images will be added as they become available. If, when
you access this site, you cannot see the type of work you were expecting,
please do not hesitate to contact Stella directly by email or phone.
