Susannah Acland

I am a contemporary landscape artist working from my studio in Upper Farringdon, Hampshire. I love working in water colour where I enjoy capturing the detail of my local landscape, using a fresh palette and plenty of expressive pen and ink mark making. When working in acrylics, I allow myself greater freedom of expression and my brushstrokes become more fluid and intuitive, creating a less detailed interpretation of the landscape. I enjoy combining instinctive mark making using a variety of conventional and non conventional tools, to create movement and spirit. Having been brought up in Scotland, the Highlands and West Coast provide continuous inspiration for my work, as well as the stunning landscape around my home in Hampshire.
