Annie Green

My work is inspired by the landscape around me - wild open spaces, a big sky, the restless and unpredictable beauty of the sea , how the weather sweeps in changing the light moment by moment, the astonishing colours of nature. Painting for me is not about recreating the reality of the landscape, but rather seeking the abstract values and the experience of being within it. My work has its beginnings in real places and experiences, but the process of creating also involves memory, intuition, responding to the nature of materials. A love of colour drives my practice.
