SOPHIE PARR

CONTEMPORARY LANDSCAPE PAINTER

My work is inspired by the landscape; I use it to trigger ideas, forms and structures. My paintings are not direct representations but an attempt to represent the feeling of being there; the movement, the elements, the textures and colours.

Life has been very busy since I have retired in January. I have had the luxury of taking my time to develop some new paintings ready for an group exhibition at Castle Parks Arts. There is a pond I visit everyday on my dog walking route, I have been exploring how to represent the 'essence' of the place and how the seasons, weather and light impacts it. More details about the exhibition to come.
