An exhibition of 52 new paintings and works on paper.

McIntyre’s sensitively made artworks of raw minerals mulled in oil connect us to fragile landscapes and ecological concerns.

The book is endorsed by experts in the field of ecology and ancient history.

‘What a wonderful book! Showcasing a series of new paintings created by Fiona McIntyre in Scotland, Iceland and Galicia, and made with remarkable natural pigments using traditional paint-mixing techniques, this book offers much more than a journey through remote and mysterious landscapes. It is equally a spiritual voyage and an exploration of colour, texture, light, and the elemental forces of nature. Inspired by Turner and the Scottish Colourists, Fiona McIntyre presents a deeply personal and emotional interpretation of these diverse landscapes, fully immersed in a rich artistic tradition.’
