Shelagh Swanson
Artista scozzese
About
Shelagh Swanson is a Scottish artist whose practice has evolved over more than two decades through an exploration of material, surface and form. Growing up in Caithness in the north of Scotland, she developed an early connection to its distinctive landscape and archaeology. Her practice has encompassed studio-based experimentation, exhibitions, commissions and projects. Informed by her background in Fine Art, (BA (Hons) Gray’s School of Art, 2004) she works intuitively, using expressive mark-making to create movement and dense, complex surfaces. She is interested in allowing the process of making to guide the work, responding to material and form rather than following a predetermined outcome.
Swanson has completed numerous private and public commissions in the UK and exhibited internationally.
In 2026, Shelagh relocated from Scotland to Boise, Idaho, USA, a significant personal and geographical transition that has brought new landscapes, experiences and questions of belonging into her practice. She has maintained her studio in Scotland, so in future she will split her time between the two locations.
