Hazel Lale is a busy and successful Sheffield based painter. With an eclectic mix of influences, Hazel’s pictures have won wide acceptance, and a number of public bodies have commissioned works on a large scale.
A few years ago Hazel decided to make painting a full time career. Since finishing her degree in Fine Art, she has exhibited in many one woman shows, nationally and locally. Recently she has been invited to show alongside an established young fashion designer at the London Fashion Week at the Metropolitan Hotel in Park Lane, London. This is the first time that London Fashion Week has invited an artist to exhibit.

Painting in watercolour Hazel Lale brings her reaction to the natural and man made shapes within the Derbyshire landscape. Influenced by the simplicity of line and the minimal brush strokes of Japanese Art, and the American artist Mary Cassatt, who with Monet and the Impressionists are so noted for their treatment of light and tone, Hazel focuses on intensifying local colour and experimenting with form through negative space and line.

Influences: "I am attracted to themes which allow me to break free of outlines: it is not so much the subject but the light falling on a pattern, a gesture, a discordant colour and a memory which fits in with a fleeting image.
My approach to my work is that drawing is fundamental to good painting. It is totally dictated by the way I feel, which in turn provides me with a clarity of purpose and the energy to express those feelings.
I explore ideas through colour and through form- two dimensions of expression combining to produce an emphasis on design."
