“Skies, full of energy, at times move into serenity and embrace all beneath. Fellsides become rich with intense colour then fade to naturally merging shadows. Wind sweeps across ridges and waters and ever changing light moves and cascades, carving memories into hearts and minds.
Nature loans it's beauty just enough for me to hold a little of it, temporarily. This I do through fell walks, sketching, an occasional photograph as back up and then - mostly, memory playing with paint on canvas. My work is not of a place -it is about the place, the sense of it and the moments in time.”
Maria Burton has won a number of ‘People’s Choice’ awards and has been part of exhibitions in Cumbria, Lancashire and Edinburgh. She has studied under Martin Kinnear at the Norfolk Painting School, Jane Couroussopoulos at the Leith School of Art and online with Evolve Art Education.
“This world, these places, are special- they are not to be caught or possessed - they are for all of us.”
