About the artist
Angie Rooke lives in a small village on the edge of the Somerset Levels, in the UK. With a view of Glastonbury Tor from her front door and the rolling Mendip Hills behind her, she spends her days among the trees and wildlife with her two dogs.
‘Such is the beauty of this atmospheric landscape that I struggle to put my feelings for it into words; instead, I try to express it in paint.
‘Throughout the year I watch the woods, hills and fields. The rolling by of the seasons, the coming and going of birds, the unfurling of new leaves, sunlight illuminating the trees against a steely sky. I walk out into these landscapes and gaze back at home.
‘To tread these familiar paths and to understand my surroundings ever more deeply is an everyday joy.’
