Two paintings are shown. Short brush strokes in thick paint, using bright colours, depict a road leading to the horizon through grass, and the other is of two lochs reflecting a dappled sky.

Finding Peace

Finding Peace is an exhibition of new paintings from multidisciplinary artist Deborah MacVicar.

“My current paintings are made from recent healing walks which I have been doing in the landscape of Uist, in all weathers, in between my care work. I have explored side roads and paths for the first time, and revisited familiar places. 

I have been seeing things in a new and different way, and taking snapshots on my journeys with a mobile phone camera, and sharing them on social media, for myself and others to see.

I have now been using these as inspiration for paintings made in my studio at East Camp, Benbecula.”

Deborah holds a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from the University of the Highlands and Islands. Recent exhibitions include the Far Enough / Weit Genug residency and exhibition in Uckermark, Germany; RSA New Contemporaries 2012, Edinburgh, Scotland; and the Secret Sea residency and exhibition here at Taigh Chearsabhagh.
