Ian Tremewen

Ian Tremewen was born in Montreal Quebec, and grew up in Toronto, Bermuda, Vancouver and Maui, Hawaii.

His parents were artists, and he went to art school in Vancouver. Ian currently lives and works in Australia.

Ian Tremewen works primarily in contemporary watercolour. He sketches and paints on location and in the studio. He also works in glass, textiles, sculpture and murals.

Inspired by nature and the colours, patterns, textures and shapes that are in the landscape Ian makes sketches of what he might paint, then he deconstructs and reconfigures the work to what he wants to see in it. Artistic license. He will often work in a series, exploring many possibilities and interpretations of the same subject.
