My latest work explores the emotions and ideas I experience whilst walking within the landscape; the feeling of my footsteps upon a broken path, obstacles I go around, breathtaking vistas that stop me in my tracks, taking my breath away. The noise of crows calling or the beauty of a songbird singing, hidden layers of colour and light, the force of the wind and rain upon my face, and the reassuring warmth of the sun gifting me a feeling of content. All elements that seep into my own consciousness and that remain when I’m back in my studio transferring these experiences through paint – they are a journey of life, they are, “traces through the landscape”.
