Mary Batchelor

Artist’s Statement 

All I try to achieve with my work, is to do justice to the land and sea which I see before me in Scotland. They are my passion and the reason I never struggle for inspiration.
I love to make new discoveries and find new visions around each corner, but, equally, I have certain favourite locations of which I never tire, returning over and over again – often finding a new light or element to capture.
It is Scotland’s ability to surprise, no matter how well you think you may know her, which has always amazed me… long may it continue to do so.

Work
I paint solely using acrylics. they sit well with my technique which is one of broad application and rapidly working the paint.
The fast drying paint has to be manipulated quickly and it is this to which I attribute the sense of movement and spontaneity within my work.
I was trained under the tutelage of norrie kirkham, peter howson and david linley at glasgow school of art – all of them were, and remain, a huge inspiration, as are the brilliant Scottish Colourists.
