Salliann Putman studied contemporary fine art at the West Surrey College of Art and Design in Farnham between 1988 and 1993 where she obtained an Honours Degree.

In 1997 Salliann Putman was elected an Associate member of the Royal Watercolour Society and a Fellow in 1999. Salliann was elected a member of the New English Art Club in 1999. Her contemporary paintings are now in many public and private art collections worldwide

Salliann says of her contemporary paintings: ‘Subject matter is far less important to me than the abstract quality of the painting itself. I’m preoccupied with colour, light and space and the relationship of these qualities. Although the subject matter, through light and colour may inspire me, in the end it is my emotional response to the paint itself that is all - important.

Many of Salliann Putman paintings begin with a quick drawing. This is an immediate response to the subject which Salliann observes. She then develops the painting from memory with imagination playing an important part.

In addition to Red Rag British Art Gallery Salliann Putman art work has been exhibited at other leading British Art Galleries. Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Salliann Putman artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Contemporary art it can be shipped worldwide.
