A colourful show of paintings, screen prints and cyanotypes inspired by the shore at Portobello and other Scottish coasts. Also displaying repurposed marine charts with images of Scottish marine species.
Nicky Sanderson’s paintings and prints are an investigation of the intertidal zone, the coastal environment and the wide range of marine species found around the Scottish coasts. She is particularly interested in the work being done to re-wild the seas and increase carbon sequestration. This has led to a continuing study of her home coast of Portobello, the Firth of Forth and beyond.
Recently she had a solo show at the Scottish Arts Club, Edinburgh and until the end of September 2025 her distinctive translucent hangings representing oysters, seagrass and kelp of the Firth of Forth, will be on show in the Lighthouse on the NNR Isle of May.
Nicky is a professional member of VAS, and a trained printmaker who currently leads annual courses to the Outer Hebrides for the creative travel company Wild at Art Scotland Ltd, involving en plein air information-gathering and studio development work.
