A painter since childhood, Sømerset’s practice has evolved into an obsession. From a distance, her paintings appear fluid and harmonious; up close, they reveal intricate layers of detail, where each brushstroke, splatter, and sewn thread contributes to a rich, evolving narrative. This balance between chaos and control, spontaneity and precision, defines her artistic process.

The work shifts with light and movement, revealing new details over time. The paintings invite viewers to delve into landscapes both familiar and otherworldly.

The signature use of sewing adds a sculptural dimension to the work, mirroring the layered, meditative process of her mark-making. Each piece unfolds over months—built, erased, and rebuilt—until the surface hums with a sense of presence.

This slow, almost ritualistic approach to creation gives each painting its own life, making it impossible to replicate; to recreate even one would take a lifetime.
