Tessa on her work:

I try to capture and translate a mood within my work based on limitless horizons and the ethereal qualities of light affecting landscapes and seascapes. I believe in the power of suggestion and my paintings tend to hover between abstraction and figuration. The resulting images are ambiguous rather than definitive. I like the idea that they will trigger a memory or a sensation by being recognizable or familiar in some way and the final interpretation is left open to the viewer. Each painting offers a different perspective and possibility; sometimes dramatic, other times hazy and subdued. The viewer is invited to respond and react to them individually.

Paint and other mediums are applied in a variety of methods so that intense layers of texture contrast with areas of smooth subtlety. Each canvas then evolves naturally until I feel instinctively that it is finished. Whilst light and depth are key components, colour and form are simplified to capture the true essence of the subject matter.
