UCE Birmingham Mo Enright was born and raised in the beautiful National Park area of the Hambleton Hills in North Yorkshire. After graduating with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art, went on to gain an MA in the History of Art & Design and is now a full-time professional artist working from Art-E Studios in Warwickshire. Mo's work is primarily oil on canvas however, the location and the environment of a particular commission may demand the use of other materials which is always taken into consideration. The environment and childhood memories are inextricably woven together creating extremely thought provoking work. Mo does not work from photographs, but simply relies on memory recall of particular places and events from childhood seeking to recapture on canvas the moment or the emotion of the time, place or the event. “The 'sense of place' that the artist searches for is brilliantly captured by the use of colour, creating form and space within. These paintings have a captivating magic about them that draws you back again and again”.
