This painting is inspired by an untamed tangle of blooming sweet peas.
Jo Cottam - Artist - Painter - I am a contemporary painter working from my studio near Praa Sands in West Cornwall. Having lived in
Cornwall for most of my life, the vast skies and changing light are intrinsic to my work. A sense of
belonging which shapes the process of layering colour and texture creates the illusion of elemental
movement. The colours I use are selected and applied in a way that is both methodical and meditative.
I work on several pieces at the same time and this keeps the marks I make fresh and expressive. I am
inspired by the emotional connection we have to our surroundings and much of my work is reminiscent
of our sense of place.
‘Sometimes detail emerges from the layers as work progresses; sometimes it is a mere hint of something
which the viewer translates for themselves’. To discuss any works by Jo please contact Deborah at deborah@wychwoodart.com or call 07799 535765.
