Nature is rarely noticed in its rawest form. My body of work examines the natural beauty of the untouched environment, and how it brings life into colonised areas.  Within the beauty of natural landscapes, we can reflect upon the ever-changing world and accept that these natural landscapes are becoming more rare to find. In my body of work I have used gouache landscapes to represent what people don’t have time to appreciate and take in. By concentrating on simple yet detailed elements of nature, my intent is to express the important and necessary connection between individuals and the environment around them.
