“Connecting with nature feeds my soul”

Lockdown saw me connect with nature and address my health. Confined at home, I saw my garden in a different way, noticing leaves, shapes and colour more clearly. Most of all, I noticed nature continued its journey, and thrived, despite the state of the world.

In my painting, I tried to capture the atmosphere of this moment in time. I broke my own traditions and rules, which enabled me to discover a fresh perspective and reinvent my process. I felt liberated by this fresh approach and felt nourished by my art. I explored the beauty of nature with the magic of paint. I begun experimenting and enjoyed the process.

Becoming lost in the creative process, and reflecting on my thoughts and emotions, lifted my own sprint.

I express moments of joy, and celebrate my love for nature, forests, walking and the countryside. I’m continually overwhelmed by the possibilities in painting landscape, exploring different combinations of colour, light, and space.

These mysterious, atmospheric landscapes, have been made with paintbrushes, scratching, glazing, and printing. I’ve added myself, my personality and flavour to these landscapes.

There is much more to discover and I’m excited by the continuation of my journey into the unknown.

Portrait paintings was displayed on the large hoarding protecting St Marylebone church on the Marylebone Road, while major building and restoration work are carried out. The church was designed by architect Thomas Hardwick and built around 1817. The work, is part-funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund.

The portraits are all of famous people who either lived, worked, or had some connection to the area. Neeta painted the cellist Jacqueline du Pre, 1945 – 1987. British cellist. At a young age, she achieved enduring mainstream popularity. Despite her short career, she is regarded as one of the greatest cellists of all time.

An international group of five female contemporary artists are thrilled to be launching their first joint exhibition “People and Places”

at the Camden Image Gallery close to Camden Road Station

from the 13 to 18 March 2019.

 The artists are all painters drawing from their own experience and diverse background to express their unique style and explore the sensitive meaning of landscapes as well as people in places. Karin Friedli is inspired by the beauty of nature, capturing the intensity of the light and exploring changing seasons. Her expressive style using mixed media tries to catch an impression of the landscape, its mood and energy from invigorating to tranquil.  Neeta Popat  Kataria enjoys experimenting with strong and vibrant acrylic colours using spontaneous, loose and flowing styles in her landscape. Dawn Limbert is inspired by the interplay of light, atmosphere and texture and loves the immediate nature of pastels by creating bold, colourful and expressive landscape paintings with only a few marks quickly capturing the essence of a scene.  Ayse McGowan explores the human form to produce sensitive portrayals of childhood at the same time creating a wave of nostalgia in the viewer. She works with oils in an impressionistic and loose style. Diana Sandetskaya is captured by memories and aims to translate these special moments into her thoughtful paintings. Using oils her style is detailed and has a magical elegance.

Don`t miss this opportunity to visit Camden Image Gallery. Make a day of it by enjoying the vibrant atmosphere of Camden, sampling the multitude of cafés and restaurants in the nearby area and visiting the work of these first class artists.
