Morven Stewart
Artist and wanderer
Usually found scrambling up mountains or playing in rockpools, my paintings and sketches are created outside from direct observation. I have a studio in The Creative Exchange, Perth. But spend most of my time with my sketching kit in my rucksack or bike panniers as I wander across Scotland.
I find a huge amount of joy in drawing movement. From wild weather to dancers, live music sessions to swooping razorbills, my sketchbooks are filled with flight lines and frothing seafoam.
My work is available to buy from galleries and exhibitions across the UK, through my website twice a year, and in person at my Open Studio events in May and December 2026. If you would like to be first to know when paintings are available on my website, please sign up for my newsletter.
