This year my artwork has become heavily led by the seasonal changes around me. As my inspiration has become more and more attuned to my direct experience of nature, I’ve felt myself grow more and more emotionally connected to the painting process. I believe the outcome is my most authentic, organic and energetic work yet. Each time I step out into nature, I take great care to notice the colours, the textures, the smells and the energy of the places I visit throughout the year. Absorbing all of this incredible beauty everyday grounds me and gives me hope and perspective even when life has felt difficult and disordered. So these paintings don’t only communicate my experience of nature throughout the seasons, but also my personal experience and undulating emotions during that time period.
‘Lost in Spring’ was painted around May-June 2024. The hazy fog that covers subtle patches of purple and peach is suggestive of the persistent rainy weather and lack of sun that I was so craving at the time. It was a very turbulent time for me, with a lot of changes and unsettled emotions to be grappled with. The title Lost in Spring communicates this feeling of trying to re-find myself, see a way through foggy situations whilst remembering the ground will always be there to catch me. It was also an exploration of using new techniques, working with thicker textures representative of the rich and multi-layered earth where everything eventually settles at the bottom. There’s a great depth to this painting since it’s such a texture led piece. The detail photos demonstrate this well, but it truly captivates and absorbs you when viewed in person.
If you would like to add framing to this piece please be aware there will be an additional lead time of most likely around 30 days before dispatch. The painting will be tray framed in a slim, limed ash profile unless otherwise arranged. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss framing further.
