“Fiona’s work draws on a wide range of ideas and influences. It resonates with a sense of the divinity

and mystery that ancient peoples found in nature, when they believed in the sacredness of the earth,

a sacredness that the modern world is too inclined to forget.”

Christiana Payne

Professor Emerita in History of Art, Oxford Brookes University

Published widely on British art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries

including on Samuel Palmer and William Blake.

“The passage of time is an absolutely key component of your art, isn’t it? Every part of your practice appears to

have evolved at its own pace in a way that seems to echo the circumstances and forces that

gradually shape a landscape and its cultural resonances…One of the most significant developments since then has been your ‘pigment journey'

– this quest to find the right materials with which to explore your profound connection to place…”

Nicola Moorby

“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.”
