I set out to capture Freswick Beach, on the north Highland coast, which I visited daily for three months, while I lived there in lockdown. It is a wild, untamed place, accessible only by climbing across the rocks. It is a place of contrasting moods - where violent waves give way to a sudden sense of calm. It is a safe place, a place to retreat and watch the clouds form - a place where you can escape the trouble of our time.

Sally Anne Wake Jones

Sally Anne Wake Jones studied art at London University College of Education. She had her first solo exhibition at the Century Gallery, Henley and has exhibited her paintings in galleries in the South East. Her work is featured in REGARD Edition in Paris. She divides her time between her art and the family business, Guinea Pig Education, which sells educational material all over the world.

Sally Anne, and husband Peter, a chartered surveyor by profession, share a love of the natural environment. For the last three years, they have worked together on canvases to create a unique collection of paintings that portray the historic parkland at Windsor Great Park. Painting “en plein air”, the paintings are inspired by the beauty of God’s creation: depicting the art forms of ancient oaks (a tree symbolic of divine providence); the cycle of life and decay; and the flat, wide landscape - that rolls on like the ever changing seasons. The paintings are large, spontaneous statements infused with light and express our worship and praise to our Creator.

They are frequent visitors to the South of France. The intense light of that region has influenced the bold use of colour and scintillating light effects in their work.
