The Worlds She Captured
on Canvas...
Throughout her life, Mavis Freer remained deeply connected to the world around her, from the soft light of the Dorset downs to the quiet rhythms of everyday life. Her expressive oil and watercolour paintings are both observational and emotional, blending technical discipline with a raw expressiveness that reveals the spirit within each scene. Whether capturing the shifting tones of an English landscape or the intimacy of a still life, Freer’s art reflects a lifelong search for truth, beauty, and emotional honesty.​
