Ruth Lyne

I have always been inspired by the colours and textures of the coast, the wide horizons and big skies, the changing sea and the delicate patterns on a simple pebble.
Although my practice is inspired by landscape my art is about the language of painting, using composition, colour and mark making to evoke a feeling for the viewer. I often add a simple horizon line to give the painting a feeling of stability. A low horizon creates an impression of a wide, open space, a high horizon creates depth and weight.
I now live in Felixstowe on the eastern edge of Britain and I paint in my cellar where I can make as much mess as I like!
I create abstract paintings that are about being in the landscape but they are not of a particular place.
