Tess Dunlop is an Edinburgh artist who creates from a desire to capture light and shade as her works evolve. She often works on a coloured canvas, allowing her colours to appear to shimmer or vibrate against each other, giving each piece a warm, vibrant and exciting quality. Drawn to impressionist styles of painting, Tess tends to the leave the work to unfold itself and paints instinctively in a way that feels largely unconscious.
