Marion MacPhee

"I am particularly interested in dramatic landscapes, seascapes and marine life. Revisiting the remote areas that surrounded my upbringing on the West Coast of Scotland, I find inspiration in the particular details of a beach, a deserted moor or the cracked barnacles encrusted on a Humpback's tail.

Growing up on the Isle of Skye you are never more than five miles from the sea. It is this connection that has had a dominant influence upon my work, exploring themes relating to natural environment, history and mythology in an attempt to capture the atmosphere of a particular place."
