It is this location, alongside her emotional connection with the environment that drives her work. \r\n\r\nBeing outdoors is essential to Lorna\u2019s process and she uses her sketchbook to record observations of the landscape, lochs, and coastlines that she experience. Lorna repeatedly draws and paints the same scene, looking to capture how the different elements: trees, water, and sky, alter depending on time, her mood, perspective, or the ever shifting weather.  It is this repetition that gradually reveals a hidden structure to a landscape that we might not see on initial observation. There is a growing preoccupation with how the countryside has been shaped and the form this takes.  The further Lorna explores this subject the more she appreciates how the experience of living in a rural setting during childhood, then in a city, and back to the countryside has exacted a strong influence on her practice.   \r\n\r\nThe fluidity of the paint and ink used build a sense of chance and allow a freer interpretation of a landscape to evolve. This mirrors the aim of capturing an often fleeting visceral response to the natural world.  As the painting progresses the sketchbook is no longer referenced and the memory of the place and feeling it evoked is of the most value. Lorna is drawn to the cool tones of the countryside but vibrant shots of colour add further energy and a sense of the impact and contrast of a human presence.

She moved to the UK in 2001, and after graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 2006 with an MA in Design&Applied Arts, she stayed on as Artist in Residence building up her portfolio. Further training includes master classes with Rudi Gritch in Venice, then latter with Dante Marioni and Simon Moore at Northland Glass Centre in Lybster. Isaksson set up her own glass blowing studio in 2010 and she is now based in Dunblane. \r\n\r\nIsaksson's inspiration is nature, and her forms are often unfussy but very tactile, drawing from her deep-rooted Scandinavian glass making background. Her latest work are her sand cast 'Rocks' and the motivation comes from the play of light using and recreating textures in the glass and realizing interesting depth within a piece by layering different glass materiel to create a large unique sculptural piece. Rock cast's are inspired by found rocks and Isaksson is trying to create many textures and layers and catching the light by using muted colours within the piece. To create delicate colour blends she blow her own coloured shards to create a personal colour palate to use. To create a subtle and delicate watercolour effect she layers the glass thinly by creating a collage with glass stringers, glass crystals and gold leaf. Molten glass +1200c is lastly poured into the mould which fuses the colours onto the piece.","desc3":"This is a rare opportunity to watch us at work when we are making glass! \r\n\r\nPlease book ahead since we can\u2019t fit many people into our studio.\r\nBook: elin@elinisakssonglass.com","desc3Image":"Elin-Isaksson-Glass.jpg","dir":"Follow brown sign for the cathedral.

Christine taught Art in prisons, community settings and as a secondary school teacher until 2017. Working now on self selected projects means being self disciplined. So finding time to research is essential. Reading, sketching, museum visits, talks are all part of the creative process and important to making meaningful images.  \r\n\r\nChristine is currently working on portraits of a dozen volunteers from Bannockburn House as well as a Jacobite inspired series of prints for which she uses a gelatine plate technique, developed through much experimentation. Building up many layers of imagery, she enjoys using contrast to create a balance of colour and shape and texture in her illustrative prints. In her studio you can see retrospective and new work, with artwork on sale from small sketches to finished paintings. All commissions will be considered. And you can take part in a silent auction with the proceeds going to Mary\u2019s Meals. \r\n\r\nShe will be leading a workshop at Bannockburn House on 12th June. Check Artist Events for more detail. Although surrounded by countryside Christine\u2019s studio at the foot of  Abbeycraig is easily accessible by walking or cycling from the town. \r\n","desc3":"In the morning workshop, you will assemble and use a camera Lucida. A tool which artists have utilised to help with planning composition and perspective for at least two hundred years. Each attendee will make their own Lucida to take home. \r\n\r\nThe afternoon workshop will be an introduction to making a feather quill pen and inks from oak galls, tea and prussian blue and a couple of other ingredients. You will be recreating writing materials similar to those used at the time when the house was the political centre for the seige of Stirling castle.\r\n\r\nThe workshops will take place in the historical Bannockburn House, where you can channel the past for creative inspiration.\r\n\r\nPrice for morning workshop is \u00a340 per person and \u00a330 for the afternoon workshop. \r\nAll materials will be included in the cost and there will be tea and coffee.\r\nFor more details or to book please email Christine at eastneukstudio@gmail.com or phone 07906518086\r\nThere are 10 places available for the morning workshop and 15 places in the afternoon.\r\n\r\n\r\n","desc3Image":"ChristineMciver-scaled-1.jpg","dir":"On A907 head east from Causewayhead.

More recently she has begun to explore lights in a different way, focusing on interiors, in particular chandeliers and the different lights they can convey.\r\n\r\nHer paintings are much more than a depictive representation. They can be textured using many layers of different mediums. As the work progresses, she may omit areas or replace them. She may peel back to an earlier state thereby revealing what went on before. This process gives a sense of depth to the work as well as giving the paintings a glow like quality.\r\n\r\nLesley Anne has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and abroad, with four solo shows and over one hundred and fifty group shows since graduating.  Her paintings have been exhibited in galleries in London, Hong Kong, USA and Australia. Her work has appeared in leading magazines and newspapers such as The Strand Magazine, Artists and Illustrators, Fine Art Collector and the Scotsman.\r\nShe regularly works to commission and has produced work for Scottish Power and the Royal Navy.  \r\n","desc3":"","desc3Image":"","dir":"Camelon to Larbert:  Pass the golf course on left, continue along Stirling Road, turn left at the viaduct and drive to the end of the estate.
