Lorna Watkins

Lorna Watkins is a visual artist, painter, textile artist, and printmaker with a rich background in weaving, ceramics, silversmithing, batik, and printed textiles, honed in Ireland and Edinburgh. She merges expressive, colourful mark-making with intuitive techniques, layering collage, acrylics, oils, oil bars, and spray paint, often inspired by written reflections that shape her process and titles. Her art explores family, home, and ageing, radiating curiosity, warmth, and the poignant, tender strangeness of everyday life.
