Alice Luetchford
Artist Statement
Alice and her husband ski for Great Britain at the World Para Alpine Ski races. James is a visually impaired ski racer, and Alice skis in front of him as his ski guide. She's obsessed about spending time in the mountains - whether for ski racing, for artistic inspiration or for improving her (sometimes wobbly) mental health. Spending time in the mountains is incredibly soothing and relaxing.
Alice experiences a sense of calm and perspective that often eludes her otherwise, and tries to replicate that sense of joy, awe and peacefulness in her artworks. Alice takes numerous photographs while skiing which she uses for reference when she returns to her South London flat. She might sketch or paint in watercolour or acrylics when in the mountains themselves, but only paint with oil paints once she comes home (oil paint stays wet for weeks which is a nightmare when living in their van with their two cats while abroad!) Alice hopes you find her works as peaceful to look at as she found them enjoyable to paint.
