Frances Hatch is acclaimed for her radical and innovative approach to landscape painting.

Frances grew up on Fenland at the edge of The Wash. Its black earth and Siberian winds shaped the fundamentals of her practice. Plein air painting offered a means to respond to experiences that were marvellous to her in her solitary meanderings – mundane miracles that stopped her in her tracks, literally, and still do.

She continues to seek out time ‘in nature’, preferring to work under the bowl of sky rather than the confinement of a roof. Nowadays, her way of being with the land is multi-sensory and whole-bodied – hands-on and messy.

Her paintings are responses to a particular place at a particular time. Often she makes pigments from the earths she finds at that location, including them in the painting, alongside water-based paint, in an immersive interaction with the weather, the sea and anything else that may happen.
