I am a professional artist based in Sussex and I paint large original landscape and seascape paintings in oil on canvas. I have a Fine Art degree in sculpture (Brighton, 1983) but am mostly self taught as a painter.
My painting style is a fusion of Expressionist, Impressionist, Semi-abstract, Art Deco, a little Art Nouveau and whatever mood I am in that day. I often practice a kind of Impressionism in that I walk, look at things and then paint from memory. The result is that I paint what was impressed upon me when I looked at a landscape - thus a kind of Impressionism!
I am inspired by the patterns of nature and the energy, colours and spaces of the landscapes and animals around me. I like to think that paintings have ‘little souls' woven into them by artist's and that these are what call to a viewer (or not as the case may be) and give a painting presence and desirability.
All of my paintings have a story added in to them - sometimes humorous, sometimes mystical, sometimes with a message of hope or encouragement.
My aim is to make art that offers a glimpse of spaces and possibilities where people can escape the manic pace of life and imagine themselves somewhere better – even if just for a little while.

"I have had the pleasure of auctioning Gill's work at various fundraising events where she has donated works for charitable donations and the quality and detail of her work has always created gasps in the audience and has also helped the organisations I have worked for producing very rewarding bids which is a testament to her standards as an artist." Mike Ricketts - Practice Manager at The Weight Loss Centre “Gill is a brilliant teacher. She is a great artist and her animal portraits are beautiful and full of life. She really captures the unique characteristics and personality of her model, whether they are horses or cats" Christine Sotiriou – French Teacher and Counsellor "Gill's animal paintings are exquisite. The movement in her horses is exceptional and I love viewing her work. She has an uncanny ability to depict animals as if they are in motion right in front of you, they seem so alive. I would unhesitatingly recommend Gill as an animal portrait artist." Liz Bailey – Published Author "Gill is a superb artist whose paintings exude life and emotions. She has done a superb job for us, I could never have hoped for better." Dominique Cook – Director at Narconon "Gill is a fantastic and talented artist" Owner at B Gallery "For Gill Bustamante each painting speaks more than a thousand words, each horse picture has a personality all of its own. You look into their eyes and it captures their story and you get a glimpse of their whole life in them. It’s like time has stood still at that particular point in time. She is a brilliant artist and I have seen her art evolve over the last few years, she has captured seasons and nature with the up most detail and her art is really reaching out to its intended audience. " Trish Parkinson - Director - Renewable Energy at Smart Green "I have bought a number of Gill's paintings for myself and to give as presents over the years - I see them hanging in pride of place in several houses.” Andrea Grant-Webb - Owner, Broomfield Books Limited "Magical images, colourful and delightful . . . a childs dream world . . ." Stefania Priori - Designer & Sales Director at Gorgeous Bunch "Gill's paintings are exceptionally alive and full of colour. Her animal portraits reflect real character and personality as well as being beautiful works in themselves." Teresa Kane - Office Manager at The Bath Business
