Simple News That Nature Told

---

---

A few words from a poem, ‘This is my letter to the World’ by Emily Dickinson set me on an unexpected journey. Resonating ever so deeply in an unknowing way the words had a lasting effect on me. I kept the poem in constant reach within my mind, often reciting the words ‘The Simple News That Nature Told’. This is how I came to make paintings from the quiet within the landscape. Exploring through observation what it is that establishes our relationship with the landscape has informed the foundation of my art practice, I began making an archive of photos of the ever-changing landscape taken from my everyday began to inform my work. Reoccurring themes in my works being simplicity, quiet stillness, moments of time and the ever changing. The experience of looking at the landscape has intrigued me and I began to wonder how I can translate the landscape into my work. I use the language of colour to translate experiences with the landscape into paint, making paintings that embody the essence of the landscape.
