From the Studio

Dot Wade is a British abstract artist who grew up in Cornwall. After several years living and working in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, she now paints in her studio on the edge of Bodmin Moor, and lives in in an old Cornish cottage, the granite dug from the quarry just a stone’s throw away.

Dot’s instinctive approach to painting embodies structural compositions and a reductive palette, searching for a place of stillness and meditation. The drive to simplify is strong and reflects her belief in a spiritual and minimal approach to life.

In Dot’s work there is no pictorial evidence to be found; with the possible exception of the colours, which she draws from the surrounding environment.

Dot believes all landscapes inform the artist’s work. This includes intellectual landscapesformed from the books we read, our emotions, and our politics.
