Gloria Newlan

I am Canadian from Vancouver and now live and work in Dumfriesshire, Scotand, UK.

I have a Diploma in Botanical Art from Edinburgh Botanical Gardens and paint native plants and vegetables grown locally and left to go wild and into interesting structures.

I am interested in Plant Spirit Medicine and native plants growing in my backyard and study their uses for dye and medicine.

My other artwork includes Narrative painting inspired by inner vision and story and I keep a perpetual journal for local plants as well as art journals in mixed medium documenting my travels.

Artwork sold in London and Edinburgh and Dumfriesshire .

Past projects include printmaking, environmental design, woven artifacts and co-worker of multi-cultural arts workshops in museums and schools.
