Bisset is a Scottish artist best known for her dramatic oil landscapes. Since moving south to Sussex, she has revelled in the challenge of differing light and very different scenery; from the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond to the glorious South Downs.

Her work has been shown in many Scottish galleries and exhibitions including the prestigious RGI in Glasgow. In the past few years she has exhibited in numerous Sussex galleries, from Lewes to Forest Row and most recently in Gallery North, Hailsham and The Lighthouse, Eastbourne.

For the past decade, she has involved herself in the local art scene: festivals, open houses, demonstrations and workshops. As a resident of Hailsham, she is fully committed to the growth and success of the Hailsham Artists Network for which she is a dedicated committee member, and is presently helping to organise and promote their upcoming events.
