Heather Nevay
I studied at Glasgow School of Art and have been drawing and painting professionally since I graduated in 1988.
I have had a house in the village of Tighnabruaich for over 20 years on the shores of the Kyles of Bute which has a long heritage of sailing in the beautiful West Coast waters which surround it. About 6 years ago I was given a bundle of older, cancelled sea charts by a seafaring friend which I found to be enchanting to pour over. As a non sailor, it was a purely aesthetic pleasure. They seemed to hold such adventures and promise, and made me want to explore further in my imagination. I remembered the beauty and magic of the ancient hand painted sea charts and maps I saw on a visit to the Vatican museum and started to make up my own worlds and creatures, at times taking guidance from the wording printed on the charts. I sell original drawings on both complete sea charts and sections of these charts, and also have a selection of prints of each drawing. If you would like to purchase a print please contact me through this website contact page. There will be a standard postal charge of £4.10 for delivery within the UK. Please note all works are unframed and not mounted. If you would like to see some of my other work please visit www.heathernevay.net |
