Wild Woods Painting

Growing up in the lush English countryside, the visions of rolling hills and family memories often find their way into my work. ‘My paintings are simply from the inside looking out, questioning where home is and what it means.’ My figurative work narrates the longing for home, confounded by separation from family due to the pandemic Within my paintings, the composition is filled with layers; three-quarters of the original canvas remaining with paint scraped back, revealing narratives beneath. I relate this to solving a puzzle, putting the pieces together. A process unfolds of complexing layering patterns — chucking paint on a canvas, squashing it together, making texture. ’My process adds depth to a painting, whilst the different materials offer a multiplicity of textures. Acrylic paint, thin glazes; the active, vibrant paintings contain layering washes, scraping back paint, oil crayon, and pastel — hiding components of the first layer and revealing anew. I approach each artwork with varying starting points and mark-making — every painting retaining its own personality. Yet, like siblings, they are threaded together by a particular shape, colour, or texture found while playing with techniques.’ I am inspired by the rhythms and patterns that run through the fabric of nature, connecting humans to everything in our environment. To me, these patterns in nature disclose the extraordinary in the ordinary.
