Inspired by the golden blue northern light of the sea and the craggy local rock formations of her family home on the Hebridean island of Inch Kenneth, Colleen McLaughlin Barlow travels widely and records her adventures in drawings, paintings and
sculpture. Classically trained in Florence, Paris and Kyoto, her work is found in a number of private collections. Like Henry Moore before her, she is fascinated by natural shapes, particularly bones - animal bones, human bones - their
elegance
and
timelessness. Many of her current sculptures in lead crystal glass are expressions of this interest. Her work also encompasses landscape, still life, portraiture and figurative work in oil on linen as well as ink brush drawings.
