Landscape Artist of the Year is an annual art competition hosted by Sky Arts. The competition takes place over a series of heats, asking eight artists per episode to produce a landscape in a medium of their choice, with four hours to create it en plein air.
From the cliffs of Dunnottar Castle to the tranquil shores of Buckler’s Hard, I combined my practice of printmaking, drawing and painting into a multimedia process that evoked a serene landscape and emotional approach to mark making.
Winning my heat in Stonehaven, I advanced onto the semi-final and finally the finale at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London.
