Nina Archer is an abstract painter, living and working in the south Shropshire hills. Following a career in graphic design she moved to Shropshire from Sussex a few years ago and began painting full time from her studio which overlooks the borderlands of the Welsh Marches.
The work is very much about her experience of this landscape. She spends a lot of time walking and observing the immediate environment and examining and absorbing elements of the landscape that are important to her - the textural layering from land cultivation, the linear forms, the shape and contour of the land, the darkness and contrast of the forested valleys, the accents of colour and the changing weather patterns. It is her personal response to the landscape, her line of sight.
