The light and shifting weather dominate my work. Isolated beaches, rugged coastlines, and wild skies often appear in my paintings, but more than that, I aim to capture the mood of Shetland. It’s not about replicating what I see. Instead, I’m always trying to convey the essence, the wildness, and the atmosphere of this place. Ruth Brownlee
