AUTUMN at Yore Mill Gallery sees an exciting exhibition of new work by the well known Yorkshire artist Nicole Dickinson.

Atmosphere, Rhythm and Light is a collection which reflects the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside, in particular the Dales.

Nicole’s inspiration comes from her love of nature. She is especially attracted to the rugged countryside and coastline of the North of England where she lives. Her paintings depict moods and atmospheres created by the ever-changing English weather.

She is fascinated by the sky and its atmospheric influence on the landscape especially moorland and its weather-beaten trees. Her aim is to communicate the constant and often dramatic movement of clouds created by strong winds. Stormy and grey skies are her favourite.

She especially likes walking on the moors in all weathers with her camera and sketchbook, then painting intuitively in her studio. Her main objective is to translate her emotional response to a moment in time.

Her landscape paintings are mainly semi-abstract. She prefers to create works that are more suggestive than purely descriptive. The intention is to let the viewers connect with her work through their own moods and memories.

The exhibition is on until Thursday, October 31, at Yore Mill Craft Shop and Gallery, Church Bank, Aysgarth DL8 3SR. For more information, see www.yoremillcraftshopandgallery.co.uk.
