Ginny Elston
Ginny Elston is an Edinburgh based artist and freelance art educator currently undertaking a PhD at Glasgow School of Art, based on the connections between philosophy and painting.
Ginny's work seeks to make connections with her environment, capturing an authentic experience of it, through reflecting, processing and creating with paint.
'I work intuitively with colour, shape and light in response to the world around me, partially from observation, and partially from improvisation. I seek out places of stillness as a respite from the busy world, and find solace in drawing and painting from nature. These paintings are often started in situ, and are then worked into back at the studio. They are the results of painterly explorations of the myriad of forms and textures the natural world provides us with.'
