Ailsa Brims Art

Hello, I am Ailsa, an abstract artist from Gosport, Hampshire.

Exciting news! I’ve just released new abstract acrylic paintings – you can see the series here.

This series is authentic, painted slowly and intuitively, from the soul.

I’m proud of these pieces. They have the colour and texture I love but with a new spaciousness, and strength.

They’ve been a joy to create: built up over time, with layer after layer, until they felt whole.
