I live in Tarland and my work explores the relationship between landscape and emotion. I draw much of my inspiration from the wild multi-layered landscapes of northern Scotland, building on direct observation, memories and emotional responses. My watercolour paintings invite the viewer to reflect and explore their own experiences and emotional connection to these precious places.

I am Sedem, a mixed media artist and illustrator based in Aberdeen. Though a blank page can be daunting, sketchbooks are a safe space to experiment and put marks on a page. No one but you has to see it, so why fear what marks you do.
Throughout the pandemic and even after, I considered sketch booking a helpful tool for maintaining mental health and wellbeing because it is one of the best ways to practise mindfulness which is proven to reduce anxiety.
Drawing on location is a big part of my practise as I find it as stepping out of my comfort zone whilst carrying out the action of something within my own comfort zone while being in nature and drawing from observation as it can offer more than drawing from photos in a studio room.
I share my process, materials I use and how I use them on my Patreon, sell prints and zines on my website.

My passion is drawing, creating storytelling pictures in charcoal and pen and ink.
Inspiration comes from my love of Gothic Romanticism, ghost stories and the supernatural found in film and literature. I see my drawings as the visual equivalent to my own Victorian Gothic novel.
