Inspired by the Italian Renaissance artists’ vision – awash with flowers and fruit, the beauty of the human form and the landscape: The paintings pay homage to the masters as if from a parallel universe where non-naturalistic colour portrays subjects fascinating in their ambiguity. The simplicity of their hand gestures – a romanticising of the nature of high Renaissance painting itself – creating an evocative narrative.
Paintings of the natural world – almost ethereal and as if in eternal bloom : Painted from observation, part memory and perceived memory. Beaton’s use of the painted mark is built on nearly 40 years experience and on an appreciation of the aesthetic in paint, colour and form. The language of colours and forms and the elegance and simplicity of draughtsmanship remain at the heart of her work.
This book celebrates 30 years of creative output from one of the new ‘Glasgow Girls’.
Lavishly illustrated with over 150 illustrations of her highly distinctive landscape and life drawings, paintings, portraiture and environmental artwork.

“We are all unique like the impossible snowflake, however occasionally there are people who come to earth a little or a lot more unique than most. Artist Rosemary Beaton (b. Greenock 1963) is one such person. Beaton and her work are a force of nature, a fire to warm your hands by, a beating heart of pure instinct and energy connected to a visual poetic framework outside of words and reason.”
Alison Harper 2017
“The work is a triumph of drawing and colour, a response which gives us a bolt to our senses.”
Colin Greenslade, Director of the Royal Scottish Academy 2023
