Riding Sky Painting

“As a contemporary artist, I respond to the landscape and its conditions as an interactive way of exploring human states of being and emotion, embodied and reflected by the power and fragility of the natural world." Riga Forbes is an award-winning landscape painter. Her work is inspired by the dynamic shapes, elements, moods and drama of weather and light within nature. She is passionate about protecting the environment and painting the British landscape and she has also travelled extensively and enjoys working with her experience of global influences. Her painting practice combines working from sketches and photos captured directly in the landscape as well as from memory, imagination and found images. Riga Forbes now lives and works as a freelance artist in Sussex, UK.
