Artist’s Statement:

“Working with oils provides Heather with a certain freedom to “use” the paint in an exploratory way.
From initial drawings made on site, landscapes may often become reinvented, as particular shapes are taken from memory to become fused with “reality”.
Lines drawn in charcoal to make changes as the painting develops will become part of the completed work as visual risks are taken and the work moves forward.

‘If you knew at the start how the painting would develop –
You wouldn’t bother to do it'” – Lucien Freud”
