Charlene Scott, 52, has been awarded the 2024 Glenfiddich Artist in Residence Prize.
A mother-of-three who went to art school in her 40s has said she was “shocked and delighted” to have won what is described as Scotland’s biggest prize for emerging artists.
Ms Scott, who will now spend three months this summer at Glenfiddich’s Dufftown distillery with artists from around the world, said she has to make the colours on a stove in her garden because her family complain about the smell if she makes them in the kitchen. She then fulfilled a lifelong ambition when she started a degree course at Edinburgh College of Art in her late 40s.Andy Fairgrieve, co-ordinator of the Glenfiddich artists in residence programme, described her work – which uses folded paper along with her botanical pigments – as being a “clean yet complex celebration of simplicity with a great sense of hidden depth”.
Adding that she is “really looking forward to developing” her technique, she said her work seeks to “make connections between the aesthetics of minimalism and the basic principles of herbalism and ecology”.
