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.
