“The places that stay with us are rarely fixed in memory. They return in fragments — a line of light across water, the warmth of sun on skin, the pull of a colour remembered long after the moment has passed.
My paintings begin there. In the quiet movement of the mind as it drifts through sensation and recollection, following one feeling into another. They are not attempts to record a place exactly, but to remain close to what it felt like to be there — to become lost in its colours, its rhythm, its atmosphere.
Painting is a way of returning. Of closing my eyes and finding those places again; drawing on them for calm, for clarity, for energy. Each work is an act of attention — to memory, to feeling, and to the enduring imprint certain places leave upon us.”

Paintings in situ
Addy Gardner has sold work to many people across the uk and beyond. Buyers and collectors regularly explain how much joy the works bring. In different lights, Addy’s paintings, made up of many layers, show different colours and different aspects of the land and its light and weather.
Addy has been very successfully curating her shows in the last few years. This has included both exhibitions and art fairs. In the past she worked with Jenny Blyth (Gallerist & Curator) of Jenny Blyth Fine Art as well as lots of other galleries who have held her work both long term and short term.

Addy would like to know if you have ever purchased one of her paintings from a gallery in the past. She would dearly love to see photos of the paintings today. She can also revarnish and rejuvenate older works.
