Dee’s work is primarily based in painting and drawing and is rooted in a fascination with the urban landscape and the structures and infrastructures that facilitate and influence our lives. This line of enquiry also encompasses how nature and the urban landscape interact.
The starting point for her work comes from photographic observations of the urban landscape and results in calculated paintings/drawings that play with mixed media, layering and geometric precision. Her work focuses on interpreting what is perceived and creating a new visual reality that appears familiar and strange all the same time.
She works on a varied scale from large paintings and drawings to small scale pieces. The paintings are mixed media, including oil, acrylic paint and collage. Her work is built up of overlapping layers, shapes and colours which creates the abstracted and colourful landscapes.
