Daisy Fulton lives and works in Greater Manchester, UK. A recent graduate of the Manchester School of Art in Fine Art, Daisy's studies included a study abroad at the Willem de Kooning Academy in the Netherlands and a full-time placement at Waterside Arts in Sale. She was Artist in Residence at Joya: Arte + Ecología, in Spain (2022) and Fabrica da Criatividade in Portugal (2025). Daisy has exhibited in a number of group shows across the UK, including Bankside Gallery, London and Bankley Studios and Gallery, Manchester. Daisy has recently been awarded the Jackson’s Art Prize Student Award and the Wallace Seymour Painting Prize.
My practice is an honest response to my environment and surroundings, almost like a diary. I use colour, motifs, forms and lines to hint at places, spaces and things. I’m naturally nostalgic, drawn to tiny visual moments: the colour of a wall, the pattern of a tile, the way light falls. Painting has become a way of keeping those memories. Working from memory and recollections creates areas on the canvas that are undefinable but sometimes familiar. The paintings evolve slowly, reworking and sometimes stealing sections from another canvas I'm working on. I let brush marks be visible to mimic the diary-like sense of my work; it’s almost like the brush knows more than I do when it comes to revealing the piece.
