Daisy creates artwork that encompasses and reflects upon her excursions into nature, her paintings embody her sense of connection to the natural world in different realms.

Daisy’s paintings evolved from the desire to use the body to depict landscapes, using the human form to draw parallels between the body and nature, personifying the landscape somewhat in order to draw more emotion towards it. This initial idea has evolved through her practice, which begins with her own excursions into nature. There is a component of challenge within her work against the traditional western anthropocentric view that places humans as somehow dominant over the earth we inhabit. Daisy has explored the notion of the sublime within her practice, but has taken that concept and introduced her own understanding of it. The work is starting to combine these ideas of the sublime and dwelling, communicating how they can coexist.

Since her move to Scotland, Daisy’s practice has evolved, where previously paintings began as an overall response to nature, her more recent pieces have a more specific connection to excursions and locations. Her work has become more focused on the varied atmosphere of the highlands, the tranquility, accomplishment, joy and loneliness that comes with exploring the landscape.

The act of painting holds similar importance to Daisy as the act of exploring the natural world, it is one of the few things that gives her a similar sense of peace and focus. It is specific experiences and locations that inspire each of the paintings. Though each paintings hold specific meaning to the artist she appreciates their ambiguity. The work has evolved to become multifaceted, entertaining the concepts of of death, misogyny and toxic destruction of the earth.
