‘If I were to choose a philosophy that underpins my art practice it would be that of Forest Bathing. The process of looking, drawing and making studies en plein air are akin to the meditative principles behind Forest Bathing. Both require an immersion in nature and focused connection through the senses’.
In response to the gallery space and the exhibition title Forested,I have created a multi-panelled large scale painting. The scale aims to bring the forest to life and envelop the viewer in a joyous celebration of Spring. A path invites the viewer into landscapes of their own imagination and memories of forest walks and time spent in nature.
