Ursula Stone
was born into an artistic environment with a long family
history of artists and painters. She studied at Belfast
College of Art and Camberwell School of Arts and Crafts,
London and also trained as a Waldorf Kindergarten Teacher in
Edinburgh, Scotland. She has continuously worked as a
freelance graphic designer in London, Dublin and the
Southeast and also as a designer (costumes, sets, masks and
make-up) for a number of theatre companies. More recently
for The Rose Theatre Company, ArtXpress and
Evoke
Theatre Company.
After
completing 5 years art therapy training at Tobias School of
Art in West Sussex she undertook a project on Angels and
some of these paintings have been used as greetings cards
and prints.
Ursula has
been exhibiting her paintings and drawings on a regular
basis since 1995, in London and throughout the south-east.
These exhibitions are usually worked around a theme i.e. Eye
of the Heart (Paintings to poetry), Angels, Cosmos and
Creation, Dance of Inner Rhythms and EARTHeART.
Ursula is
also a part time teacher at Emerson College (Forest Row)
with the Art and Soul, Storytelling, Visual Arts, Sculpture
and Spirit of English courses. With Tobias School of Art she
is the therapist for the students, who must complete a
number of hours of therapy to graduate. She also has her own
studio where she practices art therapy, holds workshops and
paints. Her art therapy work addresses all ages and
illnesses and she is at present working with a number of
children.
Ursula paints
mainly in watercolours but also in oils and mixed media. Her
paintings are of simple themes, deeply worked through to
find new images inspired by colours and words, often
abstract sometimes finding familiar forms. Recently she
started her EARTHeART work inspired by the poet and
playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
