You may be transported to a misty evergreen lakeside, a distant coastal cliff shrouded by mist or deep underwater in a turquoise expanse. Amy Albrights subjects can be vast, sometimes veering towards abstract, other times recognisable landscapes, but there is always an element of intrigue and unknown.

A subtle tonal ranges of colour is used, an inky consistency of oil paint caresses the canvas, often creating misty, watery, unclear images that are half imagined, half real.

Layering the paint, starting off loose, Amy uses expressive gestural marks outlining her composition and then begins a timely process of ‘reining it in’ by blending, fading, pouring and glazing the oil paint in numerous layers, as though an atmospheric cloud has enveloped.

An explorer and lover of the natural world, the underwater world and the ever changing elements; Amy takes inspiration from her travels, recently Iceland and the dynamic changing weather, tides and coastline of Cornwall where she lives. The boundaries of where land and water merge is an ongoing and perhaps never ending focus.
