Wendy Stokes
Tamworth Regional Art Gallery
"Through the reflective process of journey and return Stokes has maintained a sustained engagement with Claude Monet's Nymphéas suite, both as image and its terrain. Late in 2010 Stokes visited Paris and returned in 2014 as part of an Internationale des Arts Cite Residency which included extended access to Monet's garden in Giverny The Nymphéas: immersive experience and hybrid zones within painting practice.
