About me:
I show mostly with the Portal Gallery. Their address is 15 New Cavendish Street, London (just off Marylebone high street). The gallery's website address is www.portal-gallery.com where you can find me under Artists. ..Whyn Lewis was born Edinburgh 1973 and is perhaps best known for her unique and almost obsessive paintings of Whippets. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1995 and has since had seven solo shows in the UK. She has won several awards including five from the Royal Scottish Academy. As well as by subject, Whyn's paintings tend to be recognisable by the strong and highly detailed forms of animals drawn against plain, layered background colours. She uses the shapes and symbolism of the animals as narrative, sometimes introducing clues in the form of small trinkets and jewel-like objects hanging from the subjects' collars. Whyn's work has been shown in Scotland, England and the USA.
Vashti Bunyan's Lookaftering released in 2005. The image is taken from one of my paintings, and the design + layout is by Dave Thomas. More info about Vashti at www.fat-cat.co.uk and www.anotherday.co.uk

It is in the nature of all people to have these experiences; but in our time and under the conditions of our lives, it is only a rare few who are able to continue in the experience and find expression for it.
At such times there is a song going on within us, a song to which we listen. It fills us with surprise. We marvel at it. We would continue to hear it. But few are capable of holding themselves in the state of listening to their own song. Intellectuality steps in and as the song within us is of the utmost sensitiveness, it retires in the presence of the cold, material intellect. It is aristocratic and will not associate itself with the commonplace - and we fall back and become our ordinary selves. Yet we live in the memory of these songs which in moments of intellectual inadvertence have been possible to us. They are the pinnacles of our experience and it is the deisre to express these intimate sensations, this song from within, which motivates the masters of all art." ~ R.Henri

"i wasn’t born from a whistle
or milked from a thistle at twilight
no, i was all horns and thorns,
sprung out full-formed,
knock-kneed and upright."

were the tables newly fashioned;
drinking cups were forged from
copper, knives of gold
and spoons of silver;
filled the vessels to their borders
with the choicest bits of light-foot,
fragments of the forest apple." ~ kalevala, otso the honey-eater
