Statement:
My paintings ‘Lake’ and ‘Window at Bonnington café’ reflect both change and constancy. During lockdowns and through out the pandemic, walks to familiar places were a lifeline; the comfort of knowing that parks, ponds and lakes were still looking the same, physically unchanged in a wider world where chaos reigned. Late in 2021, a café run by a collective of chefs closed its doors forever. It had been an integral part of the community for over 20 years, where the food was exquisite and the atmosphere magical. Due to financial stresses compounded by the pandemic and a greedy landlord, this beautiful place was forced to close.
