Moira Frith

Moira Frith makes watercolour paintings on paper of botanicals, beasts, birds, costumes, castles - anything that catches her imagination. With a professional background in conservation and ecology, she turns to painting to express aspects of nature that elude scientific language. For Moira, painting acts as a way of slowing down and paying attention to this, allowing her to explore where she finds the beauty in things, in a more spiritual sense. Watercolour offers immediacy and responsiveness, Frith loves how the paper responds - warping, absorbing, shifting - so that the surface feels alive.
