Magi Sinclair is a landscape artist based in Caithness who has an affinity for wild places in the north of Scotland, typified by the vast low landscapes and huge skies.
Her particular interest lies in closely observing the small details in this landscape - things often overlooked - patterns, textures and the intrigue of the plants and wildlife that cling on and thrive in such isolated places.
A recent exhibition of new work, “The Flows and the Flora”, is a meticulously observed study of the unique landscapes and plant life of the Flow Country, a vast area of bog peatland stretching across Caithness and Sutherland. In 2024 it was awarded Unesco World Heritage status, the first site on mainland Britain to do so.
“Wildlife in the form of birds, insects, lizards, beetles is all around and the midges and clegs drive visitors off the bogland. Only by sitting very quietly does it bring its rewards. I do a lot of observing. With my drawings, I am trying to convey a sense of being back there in that landscape, to capture the essence of the place. Local Caithness names are used as parts of titles for some of my work describing bogs, pools, plants, many words having long disappeared. History plays a part as do local authors, informing my work and how I think.”
