In this ongoing body of small works begun in 2013,  the artist continues to depict people and objects creating different narrative threads which run through each painting.   A sense of timelessness is conveyed through the combination of colour, texture and mark-making.

"The Red Beret" - "Snow, cold, a young boy from another era carries a book. The boy is my father in his innocent, joyful youth. I wore a red beret in the 1980s."
"Birthday Boots" - "The girl's pose is abandoned - Where is she?  The title says it all.  I wore red boots in the 1980s."

"Take me Out" - Black Dog, Girl in Pink looking to the future

"Small World" - Staithes big cliff - a sense of insignificance

"My Red Shoes" - Nostalgia, dog and Dad
I see, I hear, I feel ... I paint


"Birch has distilled her chosen imagery into a series
of well-considered shapes and forms linked with colour and texture
 
to make a moving visual image."
