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. The language of printmaking allows me the freedom to be expressive whilst maintaining an illustrative and representational approach. Working predominately in monotype and etching, both mediums provide me with the use of line, texture and colour, which are integral to achieving the finished outcome. Sugar lift is a medium that preserves the brushwork and encourages large areas of colour, used in the etchings to achieve a fluid method of working.

Marion grew up on the Isle of Skye. She has graduated from the Edinburgh College of Art, She currently lives in Glasgow and prints her work at Glasgow Print Studio, where she also helps at the gallery. Marion's work is quickly gaining recognition and has been recently exhibited in London Original Print Fair, Affordable Art Fair (Hampstead) and Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.
