Mairi is maker based in Scotland, and graduate from Orkney College UHI in Kirkwall and Duncan Of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee.
Her work often focuses on minimal and playful interpretations of the natural world, drawing inspiration from folk tales, traditional stories and mythology. Within her practice, she enjoy dabbling in a range of different tools and processes – her particular favourite's being ceramics and traditional drawing methods. A lot of her work centres around community, including working with different community spaces and gardens. She can often be found admiring gardens, and is a collector of small trinkets. |
