Thérèse Oulton

Born in Shropshire, Oulton studied in the late 1970s at Saint Martin's School of Art[?] before going on to the Royal College of Art[?].

Oulton's work is essentially abstract though her early work often resembles rocky landscapes. Later works, often executed in a thick impasto, are abstract compositions with complicated and carefully worked surfaces.

A number of Oulton's later works use multiple repeated images, often with slight variations between the repititions.

In 1987, Oulton was nominated for the Turner Prize.
