Starting off the new year in our Blencathra Gallery, is newly represented artist, Heather Burton. Her work is a stunning display of the atmosphere, capturing the teasing light and moody skies of the Lakes. The power in each stroke of her palette knife draws attention to the rawness of nature and the untameable forces that surround us in these fells that we call home.

“One great aspect of our unpredictable climate is the way it transforms our landscapes. I am constantly trying to capture the drama, light and rich colours of the countryside, but I am increasingly drawn towards the powerful landscapes where the atmosphere can change within minutes….” - Heather Burton
