The Changing Tides by Roberta Hall-McCarron

<p>Helen Glassford was born in Lancaster in 1976. She studied at Carlisle Art College for a year before going on to the Fine Art Drawing and Painting degree course at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee graduating in 2002. Glassford’s oil paintings draw on her memory, experience and observation of the remote areas of Scotland. She seeks out the atmosphere, the intangible and unseen through her expressive land and mindscapes. In her work she constructs full environments, which she describes as <em>a visual echo of experience, connecting the wild with the past and present, and connecting the intimate with the vast</em>.  Her work is in many private collections world-wide and in the public collection of the McManus Art Gallery and Museum Scotland. She exhibits throughout the UK and lives and works in Newport-on-Tay.</p>
