*”The eye sees what it didn’t see before, or sees in a new way what it had already seen.”* — Nan Shepherd, *The Living Mountain* Sheena Raeburn is an artist whose abstract landscape paintings are inspired by the edges and shifting atmospheres of Scotland. Her work is marked by a vitality in her use of colour and expressive gesture, inviting viewers into immersive experiences of wind, light, warmth and water. Working intuitively, her paintings emerge from fragments of memory, sensation and dream, where landscape becomes both place and feeling. Alongside her painting practice, she is a landscape architect, a perspective that deepens her attentiveness to atmosphere, spatial experience and the emotional resonance of place.
