Artist statement
Art at Natures Edge
‘I am fascinated by the play of light in Nature; it defines the rhythm of the days and the space around us- evoking the spiritual within us. It is this that I try to capture.’ You can visit my website http://www.richardcorbett.biz/ to see more of my work or call 07967 094080 to make an appointment to see my studio.
I am currently working on paintings inspired by the Welsh Landscape around Monmouth. I will be showing new Welsh Landscape Paintings during the Ryder Cup 2010, not far from the Celtic Manor Resort, in Monmouth at the New Leaf Gallery, 19 Church Street, Monmouth, NP25 3BX.
