Tess Gartland-Jones

Tess is an oil painter fascinated by the beauty of the natural world and how artists convey what they see and feel. Her love of being in nature and discovering new environments has evolved into a dual process of impressionistic work encapsulating a sense of place as she explores trails in different parts of the world. Her studio practice is built on the interplay of the impressionistic plein air process and how memory and intrinsic qualities of a subject are refined in a traditional, employing an oil painting technique that has a luminosity and subtlety that has to be seen directly to be truly appreciated.
