By taking in sights, sounds, colours and routes Nicole Rose was able to create a series of unique pieces reflecting her own experience with peace and nature.
“My paintings are inspired by the walks I take around the local beauty spots. I capture images and videos of the minutiae of nature, the curve of a path, the shapes made by the trees, the light coming through etc... Back in the studio when I paint, I use these references from the walk mainly as a starting point, I recollect where I have been, how it made me feel and my paintings take on an emotive response and recollection in the space that is between the reality and my daydreams.” – Nicole Rose
