My work explores notions of ‘landscapes within’ the mind, and I examine ways in which we engage with ‘nature’ and ‘wilderness’. Rather than being windowsto-the-world, my paintings are compositions made from a range of sources, including memories, texts, sketches, photographs and sound recordings. what to expect: This year my work will be a response to a work of literature, Nan Shepherd’s ‘The Living Mountain’ (1945) a poetic celebration of the Cairngorms, in which the writer explores many things integral to the mountain, and thus, ultimately, things integral to herself.

SPRINGBACK
My jewellery is based on my love of collections, whether in a junk shop, curiosity cabinet or jewellery box. When translating these ideas into my work I incorporate the shapes, textures and often collected objects themselves. what to expect: Visit my ‘pop-up’ jewellery shop in Patti’s painting studio. I will be exhibiting my latest collection of rings, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and brooches alongside sketchbooks full of working drawings.
