Libbi Gooch
My work is less about reality and more about the remembered or imagined. It is an impression of the environment based on the emotion that the memory of being there conjures up. I work with immense energy and a sense of immediacy to try and commit those fleeting impressions to canvas
I am self-taught, so my work is a very personal and instinctive response to the power of nature and the environment, the subsequent feelings evoked and the lingering memories. I often work to music, which sets the tempo for the way I paint, confidently using tools including brushes, palette knives, fingers and rags.
