Lorna Sinclair (b.1994) is a Scottish artist currently living and working in Glasgow. Graduating in Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (2017), Lorna has since exhibited work across Europe and the UK, whilst recently completing Art Residencies in Costa Rica and Berlin.

​

Lorna’s practice is directed by colour in the natural world, as it is colour that moves her to paint. Using a saturated and playful palette, Lorna creates fantastical landscapes and still lifes that are rooted in reality but reimagined and transformed through her work.

Paint is embedded onto canvas with heavy layering of oil paint, pigments and sand. Memories of travels to faraway dreamscapes synthesize with scenes from her everyday life – rich botanical scenes, open windows and Lorna’s sprawling back garden in Glasgow spill from her canvas and paper.

Process driven; Lorna’s paintings derive from spontaneous sketches and imagination, providing a form of escapism.
