Beth Wintgens
My experience of the landscape is the source of my work. I aim to describe a space, what it is to move through, round, over a landscape, touching and being touched by the elements. My painting is to try and understand this vast thing of which we are a part, where spectator becomes an active participant in my reaction to place.
Through gesture and colour I describe the elements and the physical encounters they create; the tug of the brushstrokes becoming currents and waves, the fall of the paint reflecting the weight and history of the land beneath us.

The making of the paintings echoes a sense of nature as process and it is through these captured moments that I hope to stir the senses and conjure the rhythms and beauty of the natural world.
