Helen Glassford

“My life in art begins and ends with encounters with Scottish landscape and a deep desire to translate and communicate this in my practice.”

“A new exhibition by award-winning landscape painter Helen Glassford is always something to celebrate. Glassford is a genius at recreating the timeless quality of landscape. You might not be able to pin down the place, but with a few swift lines and a wash of paint, she puts you right in the heart of it...” ”

“The concern with edges; sea-strands and beaches, hill-tops and horizons. The fascination with fluid boundaries; tide-lines, weather-fronts, cloud formations, scudding skies. The appeal to an unsettled, fluctuating, mobile landscape. All of this references the contingent, liminal, world where everything is in a process of being and becoming. This is surely the magic of these paintings.”
