Seonaid Clarke

I live and work in Stornoway, a small fishing town in the Western Isles or Outer Hebrides as the islands are often referred to.
The amazing Hebridean light and wonderful scenery has inspired me greatly over the years as well studying the work of talented artists residing on the island and this is often reflected in my own artwork.

During the last couple of years I have embarked on a new venture experimenting with paint on the famous Harris Tweed. My first pieces were showcased at the inaugural Aberdeen Art Fair in 2011 and proved a success. As each 'Tweedie' is completely unique (to date we know of no other artist using the 'Clo' in this way) it means that almost all my original works have been sold as quickly as they are being created.

Whilst at High School I enjoyed drawing and so recently I have been trying to improve & refine my pencil artwork and was delighted when one of my graphite portraits 'If Only' was awarded the 'People's Choice' First Prize in the Gordon Art Exhibition 2012.

I studied Art in High School but did not pursue any further formal qualifications in this field.
