Eira Chidgey is a mixed media abstract artist responding in an instinctive way to the world around her. A background in textile design and a first class honors degree in Contemporary Applied Arts have created a love of surface texture and pattern resulting in multi layered works often featuring found materials and stitch.

Eira has been included in group and solo exhibitions in the UK and Australia, and has this year been selected as a semifinalist in the Newcastle Club Foundation Art Prize.
