Far and Wild Painting

I am a visual artist working in the South Somerset/Dorset area. Working primarily in acrylic paint but also drawing with pen and ink and watercolours. I work with both figurative and abstract styles and through both I explore my daily experiences and encounters particularly in the outdoors where I find a soothing space, often looking to the horizon as a place of balance but always intrigued by shape and form in land, sky and sea. I experiment with my palette expressively and emotionally trying to capture the essence in what I have been recording outdoors in my sketches and photographs. I often find myself exploring nostalgia, beauty, seasonality and storytelling where I find the concept and structure of time sews these threads together. I use Instagram like an online sketchbook and frequent sketches, painting and ideas can be found @jess.egan.art www.jesseganart.com
