Velvet Peak III – Mandy Maria

Scottish artist Mandy Maria grew up in North East Scotland, where walks in the Cairngorm mountains were part of childhood, and has lived in Glasgow for around twenty years. After several years in design she returned to drawing, working with pastels and pigments she makes herself from minerals collected on sketching trips. Colour is always her starting point. Her fast, intense pieces pair rugged landscapes with a soft, delicate touch, capturing the beauty and sense of adventure of the outdoors.
