Kirstine Drysdale
I use my artwork to explore memories and moods, mostly working with inks or with oils (with or without cold wax). I usually employ a limited palette when creating emotive and introspective abstract paintings: frequently starting with no clear plan for the finished composition. The subtle interplay of colour and materials in my work reveals a richness of energy and intensity.
Most recently I’ve been working on collaborative pieces with Rod Malloch where we add alternate layers to a painting, using oil paints mixed with cold wax, until we agree they are finished.
Based in Edinburgh I studied art and design part time at the Edinburgh College of Art and Edinburgh University, after working in education for many years. I am an emerging artist constructing wearable art through my jewellery, and imaginative artworks inspired by nature.
