Sustainable Art W
e have decided to add a new feature to our zine where every month we highlight some sustainable art we have been loving and this month we have chosen to focus on the work of Edinburgh based artist, Mairi Timoney. Mairi studied painting at Edinburgh College of Art and at L’École Superieure Des Arts Decoratifs in Strasbourg, France. Mairi’s work often includes fragmented landscapes which come from an attraction to unfamiliar surroundings, quiet landscapes, architecture and the lives and stories of the people that inhabit these spaces.
How did you first get into art? I have always loved drawing and painting, it’s always what I have been most fascinated by. I knew I wanted to study at art college and so I started going to life drawing classes when I was 15. I left school at 16 to attend a portfolio preparation course. I began studying at Edinburgh College of Art when I was 17 and then I have carried on making artwork since then.
