Clare Arbuthnott RSW, a contemporary artist based in Edinburgh, focuses on her native landscape and also creates colourful floral works. Clare was bought up in rural North East Scotland and later studied at the Leith School of Art and in Cumbria. She is an elected member of The Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and won the Scottish Arts Club Award for her work in 2017. Her landscape paintings try to capture something of the changeable nature of the Scottish climate with lively brushstrokes and rich colour. Likewise, her floral still lifes are approached with a similar vigour and enthusiasm.
