Amy is fascinated by the place where water meets land, this boundary is where she finds harmony among the elements and inspiration for her hauntingly beautiful work.
Based in Cornwall, her paintings in the new collection are inspired by the Helford River near Falmouth. The riverbank altering with the flow of the water, shaping the landscape, edged by trees as it weaves its way towards the ocean.
Her paintings have a dreamlike quality, with layers of misty light, features emerging and disappearing through delicately layered paint, half real, half imagined. A dendrite branch creates an anchor in her otherwise ethereal world, as she explores the patterns of water as it caresses the sand creating the shore.
Amy, a keen paddle boarder, in the summer months travels along the coastline looking back at the land, exploring inlets and quiet beaches, feeling the power of the tides. She has an innate connection to the watery landscape of her work, transporting you to a misty evergreen lakeside, a distant coastal cliff shrouded by mist or deep underwater in a turquoise expanse.
