“My paintings are in a modern impressionistic style which I call “Luminochromatic Impressionism”. They depict the intensity of nature which surrounds us. Applying techniques learned from the masters I have developed a unique approach which draws the viewer in to the landscape – experiencing not only what is seen, but also the feelings it generates. I create predominantly large scale pictures, using colour to capture the contrasts between light and shadow.” Natasha Hawes was born in the South of Russia and grew up in Moscow.
