“I was born by the sea in a place with the sea in its name, Seaton Carew, in the north east of England. I spent my formative years on the north Norfolk coast, where my perception was flooded daily by the mysteries and magic of water, wide skies and the perpetually changing symphonies of light, sounds and movement. Coming out of the English Northern Romantic tradition, my early paintings were concerned with tall and deep spaces, landscapes, particularly trees and water. In this subject several aspirations and necessities converged: to find a visual equivalent, out in the world, for an inner emotive reality predominated. The paintings explored an early longing, for what I could call ‘My Place’, without ever having been there or indeed even knowing it. It was the liberating certainty of paint on canvas that assisted me to articulate, visually, that otherwise elusive place, and know it for the first time, time and time again.” - Sarah Medway
