Rowena Comrie is based in Glasgow, Scotland
I am a painter working in styles ranging from large-scale abstract to smaller figurative works, from a viewpoint expressing a personal vision of the sublime elements of human experience. I support my practice with teaching at Aberdeen University, in Schools delivering SAC supported programmes, and through freelance artwork including BBC design-work and workshops for the V&A.
