Carolyn Burchell is a quiet and private artist who has been much inspired by her travels throughout Europe, latterly Norway and Poland in particular. For her, the landscape is not about the faithful depiction of nature or memorable buildings but a means of expressing internal emotions.

Trees and woodlands occupy a special place in our psyche, they abound in folk and fairy tales and forests can be both places of refuge and danger. For Burchell who has been since childhood an avid reader of literature, often fiction and fantasy, woodlands are places of shelter where she can retreat among the trees. Burchell is interested in the therapeutic aspect of painting and drawing; in the landscape as both exterior and interior space, acting as a vehicle for emotion, memory and personal significance.
