Breda Holden Breda Holden Watercolour and Mixed Media Painter

My paintings aim to express a sense of seeing 'beyond the usual' often experienced when immersed in the landscape. Playing with the transparency and movement of watercolour and mixed media, I try to create a sense of mystery, removed from the physical reality of the subject. Above all it is the emotional energy which excites me through my interaction with the forces of nature.
The wilds of Dartmoor, the River Dart and the South West coastline are my inspiration.
I am fascinated by how experiencing and observing the landscape and its ever changing elements connects us to the natural world and generates a sense of awakening, curiosity, wonder and wellbeing
