Artist Statement

Vibrant hues, richness of tone and rhythmic composition are
hall marks of Steve Elliott’s light-filled pastel paintings which
set out to capture the spirit and atmosphere of the Derbyshire
landscape. Hill tops, open moorlands, woodlands and wild
places provide rich sources of inspiration for paintings suffused
by natural light and colour. Subtle textures and atmospheric
tones are characteristic of the work.
Light in the landscape energizes and uplifts, and can convey
a powerful sense of hope and renewal. Our environment is
undergoing dramatic change and I want to celebrate what we
have whilst it’s there.
