About Me

Zelda Pickup.jpg

I am a painter in oils and have always loved painting landscapes and seascapes. More recently I have also painted contemporary still life, particularly looking at colour and colour relationships.

 

My still-life paintings are a celebration of colour. I have used simple forms, vibrant colours and an altered perspective. I have recently adopted a similar approach to my landscape works. This lifts the work out of the ordinary and creates paintings that are resonant with a sense of place and atmosphere.

 

I have long been interested in the use of colour and its effect on mood and atmosphere. The desire to find a combination that unlocks a particular vision is the constant motivation for my work.
