Fletcher’s work is a celebration of the natural world, but also a celebration of paint itself. The textures, colours and freedom of paint fascinates the artist, and through his work he explores this medium in the same way as he does his chosen subject. Although the exuberant characters and colours of exotic birdlife are an inspiration to him, he has recently become drawn to wildlife closer to home- the more domestic beauty of the birds and plants in his own rural garden.
