Hazel Battersby creates colourful and layered abstract paintings inspired by the landscapes of Yorkshire where she lives and Scotland where she is originally from.

“Through exploration of mark-making, drawing and collage, both abstract and descriptive properties develop, and as they extend into paintings this continues to shift and change. There is a sense of discovery through painting, building up and removing layers and the emergence of an image, that somehow takes command of the painting. I enjoy the initial marks that are made to the conversational layers that respond in stages to develop a painting.”
