Linda Farquharson

“Based in Highland Perthshire, my work remains infused with the outdoor world and inspiration is never very far from my back door. Among my most recent work is a series of linocut prints that include ‘The Tree of Life’, ‘Song of the Goddess’, ‘nine maidens’, and ‘Earth Goddess’. These bold prints incorporate some of my favourite images – trees, flowers, animals and birds together with female form, and my current preoccupation with Goddess mythology.

Drawing on stories from the Welsh Mabinogion alongside the legendary Scottish ‘Cailleach’ (expressions of the different phases of womanhood from maiden to crone) these themes allude to tales of transformation and the point where humans and nature merge, bringing a powerful new dimension to my work.”
