Rowena Comrie

Brief Biography

Rowena has worked as a professional artist for the past 25 years. She has supported her painting practice with teaching at Aberdeen University and in Schools delivering the SAC supported "Arts across the Curriculum" programme, and through other freelance artwork including the design of an abstracted 20ft map of Scotland for the BBC painted on tarmac.  Rowena says "her images submitted this year are examples of large-scale oils that have been at the bedrock of her practice since her student days and have continued to play a vital role in her work". She is influenced by colour field painters such as Frankenthaler, Blow and Leapman.
