LAND AND SEA
15 - 21st May 2024
Antonella Scarpa-Isles & Jilly Hamilton

As artists, we both endeavour to capture energy, atmosphere and light; how they interact with each other as well as their connection to our inner emotions and feelings.
We are inspired by the wonder of nature in all its forms and moods and use a variety of  media to evoke hidden memories and forgotten impressions. 

Describing her work and process, Antonella said ‘My paintings are inspired by nature.  Although the images are a direct response to the landscape , they attempt to capture a mood rather than a specific location. 
Water, trees, skies, reflections and how they interact with each other are the main elements of my work “

Jilly told us, ‘In my seascape paintings, I aim to capture the wild energy,  atmosphere and light - which connects to your inner emotions and feelings. I see shapes and forms in the sea which remind me of landscapes of hills and valleys which only hold their form for a split second of time and change in front of our eyes’
