Sheila MacLean - Artist

Specialising in contemporary Scottish landscapes
ìAs a Gael, I am continually drawn towards the landscape of home and the Gaelic language which defines its timeless beauty, colour and form. My work is an expression of what that evokes in me ñ fragments of words and memory; a fusion of land and skies and sea; escaping to a place of changing moods where always, in my mindís eye, I see the light in the west.î
