Miriam Smith Art

'Rugged coastlines with quirky seabirds, trees that drip emerald greens or dazzling oranges, tiny, yet bold, wildflowers that colour the countryside, these are a few of the subjects that inspire me.' 

I work in a variety of media but predominately watercolour, which I love for its fluidity, freshness and unpredictability, properties, which I feel, are echoic of Scotland itself. I paint spontaneously, preferring not to over plan, so that I can work with the medium rather than try to restrain it.  I maintain an element of experimentation within my work and painting continues to be an adventure and quite simply, a joy.
