peter marsden: scottish artist

After graduating from Edinburgh College of Art, I am now living in Edinburgh and working as a full time artist.

I practice chi kung and Zen.
It is through my experiences in meditation and practicing these arts that has informed and shaped the direction of my work in recent years.

I try to produce beautiful images. I am constantly fascinated and in awe of nature. The beauty of its mechanisms and scale amazes me.
In my work I try to capture a peaceful moment and the feeling of letting go, when all the magnificence of nature is apparent.

I am primarily a painter, but work with the medium that is most appropriate for each piece. The majority of work is oil or acrylic on canvas. I also often use variations of the cyanotype printing process.
