Sheena McCurrach

Sheena's been painting for a very long time now, either as a garden designer or as an artist. Most of Sheena’s adult life has been spent in Scotland, firstly in the Highlands and latterly in Galloway in the far south west of that country. But now she lives deep within rural mid-Wales.

Nature has always provided the inspiration for her work and she especially loves painting trees, believing them to possess a special presence in the landscape.

Each day she roams the green and verdant landscape here with its soft valleys and gentle slopes which rise up through ancient oakwoods to the higher moorland plateaus with their rocky escarpments and rushy bogs. Inspiration abounds all around the old farmhouse where she now lives above Bontdolgadfan. A walk, a view, a moment in time, ….saved in her mind’s eye, caught with the camera, hurriedly sketched, or slowly worked up over days or weeks … or perhaps months.

It is hard for her to retreat indoors to the studio when the sun is shining, but on dreary days it’s a different thing. Her work progresses then.

All Sheena’s work is an expression of the things she sees, the light and the mood she was in, and how it made her feel. Take a moment if you can to view her work carefully and see if you can share the story therein.
