Summer Pond, 2012

details about this work


Carolyn Burchell is based in Edinburgh, Scotland


I am a painter whose work focuses upon landscape; the enclosure of urban park or garden and the exterior and interior nature of the forest, as well as the dream-like aspect of sea and coast. I am motivated by the need to express the moment as well as a sense of timelessness, and a human presence within the landscape.
