Claire Chandler
I was born in Hereford but spent a great deal of my childhood moving from one country to another, this developed into a love of travel and experiencing new places.
Through painting I convey my experience of the landscape. I aim to describe a space, what is it to move through, round and over a landscape, touching and being touched by the elements.
My painting is about trying to understand this vast thing of which we are a part. It may evolve from the feel of water rushing over my feet, a cool breeze on my skin or the pattern of dappled light on the ground. My intention is not to depict the space visually but to uncover the feel of what it is to really experience my surroundings.
I work in oil and or acrylic onto canvas or board to create layer upon layer, often revealing the past to the create the depth and feeling I am aiming for.
