New Website Launch
Spending time outdoors, in nature always brings a new sense of inspiration. Up until a month ago I have always been somewhat used to being stuck inside my studio, venturing out to florists or flower farms to select blooms, then returning to the studio to photograph and paint them. My landscapes were always based on imaginative lands with filtered memories of my travels through the European Alps and New Zealand. Years facing lockdowns has stopped me taking my freedom for granted. So I've been sitting, walking and immersing myself within my local environment any chance I can get. It has also prompted new works painted in an alla prima (wet on wet) style. I love the loose movement. Something that has taken me years go get the hang of. It is easier for me to paint detailed realism than it is to paint freely. I'm really excited to be bringing these new works to you soon.
