"The beauty of life lies in the different seasons, so savour each one." - Anonymous 

Summer is one of four pieces in the 2023 collection entitled “Seasons” by Louise Brook. Inspired by the benefits of nature and art for wellbeing, this collection aims to combine these two powerful forces, with a deliberate feeling of lightness and space giving a sense of quietly waiting to be filled with the viewer’s own unique experience of the Seasons.

This collection is a mindful, intentional journey which draws on inspiration from nature at every step of the artistic process. Natural materials were used for printing and mark making; the scents, sounds and colours of the Winter are captured in the brushstrokes and colour palette. Working in acrylic and mixed media, the initial impression of simplicity within this piece is disrupted by closer viewing revealing beautiful details, subtle transparency and layering, and an intricate 3D relief.
