Chloe was born in 1981. She paints allusive landscapes and still-lifes. Her work is subtle and contemplative.
In her paintings of domestic objects which are often old, well-worn, she encourages us to notice the beauty and dignity of their functional simplicity. These objects speak of history and continuity, craftsmanship and connection. Their survival is a kind of small miracle. They attest to the passing of time…
Flowers, fruit and fallen leaves speak of beauty and its inevitable decay. Time's rush and life's brevity.
She works both on paper and on board using gesso to create texture, and natural pigments. The work is expressive, thoughtful, always elegant and beautifully composed. The combination of passion and restraint gives her work an almost devotional quality. Intensity and intelligence work together to produce work which is poised and eloquent.
She exhibits regularly at Ffin y Parc, in London and in Northern England, where she currently lives and works.
