Notes
Aimee grew up in Nottinghamshire and earned a BA in Fine Art from Loughborough University School of Art and Design, often traveling to Cornwall to gain inspiration for her practice. After graduating Aimee moved to Cornwall where she now lives and works, using the changing Cornish coastline and landscape to inform her practice.
Rooted in romantic traditions, the paintings are an investigation into mark, colour, and the language of paint to form a contemporary depiction of her local environment. Drawing on inspiration from the local coastline at Cape Cornwall and Church Cove at dusk and using the hazy evening light to inform this series of paintings. The works explore subtle variation in tone and mark within a limited muted palette to convey a sense of place and memory.
