Rosemary Lewis' still life paintings are closely observed studies of everyday objects painted from life.
"While some of my paintings follow the established form of the genre, I also like to experiment with the placement of objects within the composition and with unusual viewpoints and lighting. I aim to engage the viewer with my realistic representation of colour, form, texture and light, but also retain an awareness of the paint quality itself.
In all my paintings I try to achieve a balance between recording and responding to what I see, and making an interesting and beautiful surface when the painting is viewed up close. I have a loose, painterly style and prefer to suggest rather than paint in every detail."
