Stephen Redpath

Steve lives in rural Aberdeenshire but grew up in Wales and has travelled widely. From an early age he wanted to study the natural world and this led to a research career in ecology from which he retired in 2020 to focus on painting.

He says “I paint to capture the light and essence of landscapes. I work mostly in water colour because I love its luminosity, immediacy and unpredictability. My work builds on direct observation in the field but I also draw heavily on memories, feelings and emotional response to the natural world.”
