Oil by Joanna Walter
Rookery And The A65
Joanna Walter
My current practice is focused on my childhood memories and the nature of memory and how intense that experience can be. Memory is not a fixed or static place. Visualising familiar scenes from my past shift and change through my childish vision. I grew up in south Cumbria and feel very connected to the nature of the land - small farms and rounded hills and the mountains beyond. I've painted the view from our family home and its interiors without reference to photographs and each time I am there and a child again so that trees grow huge, lanes twist and hills roll. Our dining room becomes a warm haven.
I graduated from Newport College of Art in 1982 with a BA Hons degree in Fine Art and now live and work in Bristol. I have a studio at St Annes House Brislington.
