Lesley Herd Art

I am an abstract and collage artist from Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire near the beautiful west coast of Scotland. 

I love to paint intuitive abstract works which express my emotional responses to the natural organic shapes, colours and textures of the land, sea and skies which excite and inspire me in my travels.  I work mainly in acrylics and a variety of mixed media, using multiple layers and mark-making to provide interest and variety within the work I create.

I also work in collage, creating many of my own collage papers using my gelliplate. I tend to work abstractly and intuitively, picking an initial collage paper and responding to the shape and colour until I have a composition which pleases me.

Nature is what feeds my soul: expressing the joy I feel when I experience the natural landscape and seas around me in paint is my true passion!
