Ros Fereday – Artist

 My practice is both a meditation and celebration of the natural landscape. I use the art of drawing to formulate and depict geographical constructions. Painting grounds me to the earth, to nature, where I can capture a sense of stillness, solitude and isolation of the undulating land.

For me, the dynamism of the natural landscapes as an image, provides a personal space for contemplation, restoration, and reflection.

I use illustrative mark making processes balanced with aesthetic considerations of colour, line and pattern. Each painting is a manifestation of a psychological imprint of the seasonal beauty of the natural world. I am fascinated by horizon, where land meets atmosphere, perspective, and the organic construction of the land.
