She captures her surroundings initially through charcoal, pastel and acrylic, and responds directly to the shifting light and atmosphere present in nature. These studies are later developed into oil paintings on canvas, using layers of paint to build depth and luminosity, and enrich the surface with a subtle vibrancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eInformed, although not confined, by a deep engagement with British landscape painting, her work reconsiders Romantic traditions through a contemporary lens, and creates an immersive encounter for the viewer by drawing them into the living landscape. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Minories","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53570282062090,"sku":null,"price":250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0954\/2703\/5402\/files\/Woodland_Passage_1.heic?v=1787840702","url":"https:\/\/the-minories.myshopify.com\/products\/woodland-pass","provider":"The Minories","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
