Orla Stevens
Orla Stevens is an artist currently based between Scotland and Berlin. A love for expressive mark making and texture formed on her degree in printed textiles at Edinburgh College of Art.
Firmly rooted in painting and playful mark making, Orla Stevens’ work explores connections with the natural world and the history / folklore tied to these locations – interpreting the sensory experience of landscape / seascape, soundscapes and storytelling through expressive mixed media pieces.
Finding inspiration everywhere from many walking and camping trips, to myths, to historical sites and buildings; Orla documents her experiences through sketchbooks that she carries everywhere with her, which provide records of moments, sounds and memories to later inspire work. Artwork is created in the studio, blending mixed media processes: combining painting, drawing and collage to capture atmosphere, memories and emotions.
