Biography
My work is inspired by the landscapes and nature of Great Britain. I feel my connection with the landscape has grown stronger over the years, and my love of painting has also intensified.
I think we all benefit from giving ourselves the opportunity to enjoy moments of calm contemplation, and I believe in the restorative power of being in nature. My hope is that my paintings connect and spark something in the viewer, nurturing a sense of place, familiarity, and warmth.
My work is heavily influenced by the Welsh landscape, which has rolling hills and a rugged coastline, but also lots of changeable weather, which in turn brings interesting skies into the mix. Shadows and dappled light are often my favourite things to paint, and I really enjoy it when I capture the atmosphere I’m looking for.
Discovering plein air painting a few years ago has been a joy, and I’ve found that it’s strengthened not just my observational skills, but also my relationship with the landscapes I paint, and has ultimately improved the level of my work and my composition decisions. You tend to have to work fast when painting outside, which can be a challenge but also lots of fun.
Please check back for new work on a regular occasion.
Dawn.
