Lesley Mackay 

Lesley has a background in anthropology and education. For the last ten years she has followed the family tradition painting full-time. She has shown her work throughout Scotland from Ullapool to Edinburgh.

 

Though based in Deerness, Orkney, Lesley is now most often to be found following the footsteps of her ancestors from Sutherland to Wester Ross.These journeys have become a rich source of inspiration for drawing and painting, print and collage.  The elements of the landscape that endure and connect us with the ancestors provide the themes and materials for her creative process.
