Artist's StatementKatherine Leckie's paintings explore the space between observed reality and the world of daydreams. They celebrate the sense of immersion you can feel in nature and the spontaneous flow of imagination this inspires. She is drawn to the immediacy and versatility of acrylics and mixed media on canvas, using these mediums to build rich layers of texture and colour. She sees all of her work as expressions of landscape, investigating the dynamic interplay between the elements—nature, water, earth, and botanical forms—in an intuitive and exploratory manner. Rather than starting with specific, preconceived landscapes, her creative process begins with intuition, guided by memory and the emotive power of colour. As she works, her paintings evolve, reflecting a fusion of past experiences and impressions of the natural world, thus becoming a visual record of both external landscapes and inner memories.
