BELLOW

​

Samson from Tresco

unframed watercolour

​

 

Abstract and semi abstract paintings inspired by the natural world, from wide open spaces of sky and sea, to patterns in the sand and distant islands.

​

To feed into my work in the studio I sketch and paint outdoors to absorb something of the changing light, the sounds and scents and the experience of the passing of time in that place.

A common thread running through my work is an interest in the patterns within the composition as well as a love of colour.

I have a collection of textiles and Japanese paper that sometimes find their way into my work.

My flower paintings on silk bring together my love of colour, textiles and  growing plants.

​

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

'Tessa was absolutely fantastic to deal with. The painting I enquired about had just been sold, but she did another larger one and also went above and beyond to accommodate when I asked whether she could include two figures in the painting. Kept me informed as to progress along the way and asked all the questions to make sure she had every little detail just right. Absolutely beautiful painting.'

​

'Tessa made sure my painting & mount arrived in France very safely & securely packaged. Thanks again!'
