The beginnings of sensory notations…
Drawn to her surrounding landscape of home, Libby explored mindful practices and heightened sensory awareness. Beginning to record and layer the experience of being in place, these works marked the beginning of her current practice.
“This is my view from home; my multi-sensory view of the landscape. I hold close an appreciation of the beauty of our surrounding landscapes and have grown up among artists who represent these views in beautiful but traditional ways. I am interested in a looser, more contemporary approach to watercolour painting. During plein air sessions, I work intuitively, focusing on authenticity of marks and representing sounds through line. My two boys, both on the spectrum, have taught me to value the senses. Now I seek to represent the full sensory experience of landscapes on paper.”
