Henrietta Stuart Email & Phone Number

I paint mostly in oil on canvas in which I aim to evoke time and place, creating spaces full of light and memory. The paintings are built up of layers of paint sometimes incorporating gold, silver or copper leaf which all help in the creation of light.It is not the appearance of a chosen motif but its own energies and mystery that form the heart of my paintings.Nature is the basis, the starting point, for the paintings, which rapidly take on a direction of their own where the dancing light or the feel of the wind becomes the main focus. They are compositions woven from images of the natural world.It is the power and energy of nature that excites me. Light and movement allow the creation of the space in my work, often opening up huge vistas. The finished pieces range from almost totally abstract compositions evoking a sense of place to more easily recognisable landscape images: the natural world modulated by time and season, disclosed by visual texture and colour.I have taken great inspiration recently from the coastal areas of West Susses and the Jurassic coastline of Dorset and Devon.
