ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The river flows from its source to its end. From the craggy hills, the river moves through the landscape, carving away land on its journey. Skirting woods, through fields, passing by and under manmade restrictions until it is softened by sand and silt as it joins the sea. Marshes edge the beach and boats sit in a dock waiting to be connected by an undulating tributary. The river has only one goal, its steady flow while life all around goes on despite it. This painting was the start of my graphic style. Creating landscapes by dividing areas into their colours and form. Rationalising shapes texture and content into marks patterns and texture. Painted on a wooden board for sharp edges and for when I wanted and smooth surface for blending colour.

I qualified from Art School in Manchester in the 1980s with a Degree in Communication Design and have been a practising graphic designer for over 25 years. With a love of pattern and graphic design, my painting career has developed to reflect my design background. I work in acrylic on canvas but I also like to experiment with mixed media and the strength of clean black and white images and I love large format pieces. With a commercial awareness of how people perceive images, I paint to reflect a sense of the subject matter, condensing form into definable graphic shapes, textures, colours and patterns. I explore finishes, overlaying colours removing sections for depth and interest of field and vision. The paintings evolve and grow in depth as I develop them and the piece itself becomes a patchwork of texture, graphic shapes and patterns. Originally from the North, her landscapes depict both, her heritage and experiences, places visited or images that inspire. She now lives and works from her home in Beckenham, Kent.
