Bio

Tina Peacock is a Dorset based artist working in the tradition of geometric abstraction, Constructivism and abstract expressionism. She creates large scale and smaller sized mixed media paintings on canvas, paper or wood.

​

Peacock's work explores the dynamic relationship between order, resistance and adaptation within structured systems. She is especially interested in Chaos Theory and Disorder within Order.

​

Memory, grief and human relationships are a connecting thread throughout her work evolving from Peacock's lived experience. Growing up in the transient environment of a hotel in Cornwall and as the youngest of five, life was always chaotic and family relationships were fractured. There has been much grief and loss to deal with, both as a child and adult. Conceptually, the work reflects the complex realities of contemporary life where social, political, technological and environmental structures are continually tested, challenged and reshaped.

​

Preferred media is vinyl emulsion paint (Flashe), graphite and ink, creating large scale and smaller sized mixed media paintings on canvas, paper or wood. 

​​​​

Peacock has worked hard to develop her professional and creative practice over the last decade having graduated from the Contemporary Art Academy, London in 2025. She previously attended AUB to study Art & Design, she has studied with Newlyn School of Art as well as the Classical Art Academy Atelier, Southbourne. There are many other artist led workshops in the mix too, including artists books, monoprinting, linocut, collage, mixed media techniques and creating earth based pigments amongst many others.

​​​

Tina has taught painting workshops at Shire Hall Museum, Dorchester and at Walford Mill, Wimborne.

During her time as a resident artist at the Mill, she collaborated with fellow resident artists and trustees, gaining valuable experience curating and stewarding exhibitions, hosting open studio events and attending management meetings.

 

Regular applications to Open Calls and Residencies advance Peacock's development further.
