Helen Glassford RSW
Helen is an award winning Scottish landscape painter based in North East Fife, Scotland. Working mainly in oils she exhibits her atmospheric paintings regularly in several galleries around the UK.
“My life in art begins and ends with encounters with Scottish landscape and a deep desire to translate and communicate this in my practice.”
“A new exhibition by award-winning landscape painter Helen Glassford is always something to celebrate. Glassford is a genius at recreating the timeless quality of landscape. You might not be able to pin down the place, but with a few swift lines and a wash
of paint, she puts you right in the heart of it. A new exhibition of her work at the Scottish Gallery on Dundas Street in Edinburgh, opened recently and runs until the end of April.” ”

“The concern with edges; sea-strands and beaches, hill-tops and horizons. The fascination with fluid boundaries; tide-lines, weather-fronts, cloud formations, scudding skies. The appeal to an unsettled, fluctuating, mobile landscape. All of this references the contingent, liminal, world where everything is in a process of being and becoming. This is surely the magic of these paintings.”
