About Brae & Brush

Brae & Brush is inspired by Scotland’s dramatic coastlines, changing skies and peaceful landscapes.
Each painting is created to capture the atmosphere, movement and light that make Scotland such a special place. I work mainly in acrylics, using brushes and palette knives to create texture and movement.

My Story
I attended Duncan of Jordanstone Collage of Art & Design from 1998-2002, graduating with a BDes (Hons) in Illustration & Printmaking. I spent many years working creatively before returning to painting as a way to relax during lockdown. I fell in love with painting all over again and the rest is history.
Today I paint from my home studio in Angus, creating original artwork inspired by the ever-changing skies of Scotland.

Inspiration
My approach to painting explores the themes of shelter, solitude, sunlight and shadows, and the meeting of nature and construction in walkways and coastlines. I enjoy capturing perspective in nature and urban settings, inviting your eye to travel through the scene and wonder what lies beyond. Each painting reflects a moment that caught my eye and stayed with me.

Whether you’re looking for an original painting, a fine art print, or simply enjoy exploring Scottish landscapes through art, I hope you find something that connects with you.

Thank you for visiting Brae & Brush.
