“These atmospheric pieces hold a melancholic beauty, highlighting the landscapes’ fragility; encouraging us to protect and nurture rather than destroy and edit.”
Kate Reeve-Edwards
My work seeks to create a sense of stillness—a space to pause and reflect.
I create atmospheric paintings that explore landscape as an emotional and meditative experience. Rather than literal depictions, these works are responses to place—expressions of mood, memory, and perception. Working in oil on linen and watercolour on Japanese washi paper, I explore the transience and impermanence of the natural world.
Many titles, such as How Silently Comes the Water, are drawn from poetry, while others, like Sea Light, arise directly from moments of observation.
I am interested in how inner psychological states can be conveyed through landscape. My practice is guided by stillness, space, texture, colour, and light, as well as the material presence of paint on the surface.
I hope my work invites viewers to experience both the beauty and power of the landscape, and to reflect on its fragility and value.
I have a BA (Hons) in Fine Art and am currently studying MA Painting at the Royal of Art in London.
I have a studio in London and in County Wicklow, Ireland. For enquiries, including sales, please contact: michelle@lucca.ie
