Jacqueline Hammond
Painter
I work primarily in oils, and am a keen sketcher whose work is often rooted in observations of the local landscape and plants. Sometimes I paint en plein air but more often in the studio.
In 2020 I began exploring my local footpaths daily, becoming deeply attached to the nearby countryside, observing the day to day changes in both the landscape and the plants. Although untrained in fine art, I was inspired to explore painting with oils for the first time and found new fulfilment in this expressive medium.
Inspired by the beauty in our everyday world, I celebrate that in my work. I am drawn to the play of light, colour and pattern, my paintings often capturing a sense of season, as I seek to express the feeling of being within nature in a moment in time.
