Gillian Goodheir's paintings reflect her surroundings, the ever-changing weather and light in the west of Scotland but also the south of France where she spends time, when she can. As well as landscape she excels in Still Life, combining flowers, textiles and decorative objects. Her preferred medium is gouache which she handles in a fluid spontaneous style, capturing light and colour. Her work is in collections throughout the U.K. (including the Permanent Collection of the Palace of Westminster) as well as in the U.S.A., Canada, Hong Kong, Holland, France and New Zealand.
