Ibolya Taligas Watercolours
Nature is my inspiration, my healer, my teacher.
Biography
Ibolya Taligas is a self-taught watercolorist who has been residing in the United Kingdom for the past 30 years. Originally from Hungary where she studied Art and English. She continued her education in London and became an illustrator after finishing her studies. She decided to travel around the UK and seek out some of the areas of outstanding natural beauty. Equipped with her sketchbooks, paints and field easel Ibolya started her watercolour journey, recording all the beauty that surrounded her in the British countryside as well as in famous historic towns. After many years of painting on location she accumulated a large collection of artwork which she decided to exhibit online. To her surprise her humble paintings and sketches, as she calls them, attracted the attention of art collectors worldwide, many of whom became repeat buyers and friends. Ibolya continues to capture peaceful scenes of nature. Her work is displayed in private homes in the USA, UK, Australia, Canada and many EU countries.
