Biography "Living near the south of England's coastline and close to the river Stour in Dorset has given me the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the land and sea of this area, many of my paintings are directly inspired by these views, concentrating on the colour, light and atmosphere, especially observing the intense colours at sunrise and sunset, translating my emotional response onto canvas, giving the viewer an insight into my unique interpretation of the landscape, and a sense of my own personal connection with the subject."
"Masterful landscapes & skyscapes where the beauty of natural light is captured & held" artgallery.co.uk
"I love Stella's work, not only because of its fresh and modern approach but because so many of her paintings remind me of my childhood in Bournemouth. I chased that wave at Southbourne Beach, braved the wind on Hengistbury Head and went to Mudeford on Sunday mornings to eat cockles." westcountrygalleries.co.uk
