ABIGAIL SIMPSON-STONER ARTIST • UK Abigail Simpson-Stoner is a fine artist based in the United Kingdom. Although she studied Fine Art during college, most of the techniques she uses today are self taught. Art has been Abigail’s passion since a very young age and she can’t see that changing any time soon. ‘Beauté’ I was inspired to create this piece as part of a series dedicated to the female form in all its shapes and sizes. This one was my favourite out of the series, because I find the shadowing and lighting very visually appealing. This was created using Faber Castell Polychromo coloured pencils on Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper. I used this colour scheme with this series to represent heat, passion and self love.

This piece was inspired by the timeless classic ‘The Creation of Adam’ by Michelangelo. I have always felt inspired by the renaissance artists and their work. This piece was created using Faber Castell Polychromo coloured pencils on Clairefontaine pastelmat paper. ‘Heat’ This piece was the first out of a series I have created to represent self love and the female form in all its shapes and sizes. The colours I have used are because of that representation. Colours such as red, yellow and orange are very often associated with heat, passion and love—which is why I decided to incorporate that colour scheme into my work.
