Featured in October at Larks Gallery in Ballater is mixed media artist Leonie Gordon. She employs an instinctive approach to her work, saying, ‘My painting is a kind of meditation, stepping out of the analytical world of thinking into the liminal space of not knowing and the joy of playing with colour and marks and brush strokes. I follow my body – surrendering to my curiosity and flow. This is the key for me, the process, of being present, playing, not trying to get anywhere and seeing what emerges.’
