CHERYL ANN WILLIAMS

My art practice is an intuitive partnership between the field studies, my memory and the painting process, often allowing the materiality of the paint to have the upper hand. I review the sketchbook drawings and colour notes made on my walks, and develop them, freely interpreting colour and marks as I seek form and context. As the abstraction process continues colour choices become a mixture of observation and intuition as I attempt to convey through paint, the experience that demanded a response from me.


As my paintings become more layered there is a synergy with the ancient landscape of this Border country, where history and the time-worn animal tracks are layered beneath the land, veiled by the ages and revealed by man and his labours.


I hope my work depicts – with lyrical and evocative imagery – a sense of the landscape that so inspires me.
