‘Where No Storms Come’ features a body of work that captures magical landscapes, occupying a liminal space between nightfall and dawn, where flowers are caught dancing, stars appear against the night sky and traces of city scapes are spotted behind sleeping landscapes and gardens. Each painting is a portal into a new, vivid reality.
Lorna Sinclair (b.1994) is a Scottish artist currently living and working in Glasgow. Graduating in Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art & Design (2017), Lorna has since exhibited work across Europe and the UK, whilst recently completing Art Residencies in Costa Rica and Portugal.
Lorna’s practice is directed by colour in the natural world, as it is colour that moves her to paint. Using a saturated and playful palette, Lorna creates fantastical landscapes and still lifes that are rooted in reality but reimagined and transformed through her work.
Paint is embedded onto canvas with heavy layering of oil paint, pigments and sand. Memories of travels to faraway dreamscapes merge with scenes from her everyday life – rich botanical scenes, open windows and Lorna’s sprawling communal garden in Glasgow spill from her canvas and paper.
Process driven; Lorna’s paintings derive from spontaneous sketches and imagination, providing a form of escapism.

We had not planned to present a hybrid festival, however that changed when one of our main authors tested positive for Covid. I greatly appreciated how the team worked with us to pivot and present remotely in part, making full use of your enhanced video conferencing equipment. As a result, we were able to deliver quite complex events with several elements all showing on screen simultaneously. The audio-visual quality was excellent, and our audiences were delighted that these events could still go ahead, in spite of Covid. The author in question was really pleased that he could join us on screen and remarked that he had not been so well supported in this way at any other festival.

Pop in to the Foyer Cafe for breakfast, grab a delicious coffee with a selection of our homemade baking or enjoy a light lunch whilst browsing on the free WiFi. Wander upstairs to view the latest of our monthly art exhibitions before visiting the world of Beatrix Potter, or the Gift Shop to purchase a special gift for your loved ones or yourself!
Perthshire is so lucky to benefit from such an amazing community, arts and performance venue. I have so many great memories of attending various performances and parties at Birnam Arts! Hoping to attend many more to come! Birnam Arts has a place in many peoples hearts and is an essential community resource.
