Emerging Artist 2022 Award Finalists

Alysia Webster

I am a visual Artist based in Leeds, and I paint to recreate the feeling of being immersed in the landscape, letting experiences from different places blend and collide; using gestural marks and atmospheric washes to mirror the physicality of the mountains, the geology of the rock, and the dynamics of the landscape.
