Studio Portrait by Lottie Matthews
"I have always wanted to say this out loud. I am a painter who investigates my own experiences of the world. I’m interested in describing a process of perception, discovery and regeneration. Spitting out paint and matter as I go along. A messy and rewarding process and something that keeps me endlessly satisfied."
