Artist’s Statement:

“Eleanor is a Dorset based artist and began to develop her art practice following moving to Dorset and immersing herself in the stunning vistas of the Purbeck landscape which have become a huge inspiration to her art practice.

Eleanor makes most of her initial work ‘en plein air’ enjoying the energetic, immediate and visceral quality it brings to her work. These sketches are then developed in the studio allowing her drawings to evoke the atmosphere of the Dorset landscape through expressive mark making and the use of rich, natural colours. She often explores the use of white space, allowing the landscape to appear like an explosion out of the frame. Her artwork invites the viewer to use their imagination and personal emotional response to interpret their vision of the contemporary landscapes.”
