Marion MacPhee

Marion MacPhee's is a Scottish contemporary printmaker based in Glasgow. Renowned for her singular studies of whales, her limited edition and unique prints - which are informed by her childhood on the Isle of Sky, and travels to remote coastal locations - invite the viewer to consider the power of the natural world.

Working across etching and monotype, Marion’s practice is rooted in figurative drawing. The Islands of the North West of Scotland and Ireland - with their raw energy and deep-rooted history - are key sources of inspiration. On-site sketches and photography form the starting point for her imagery, which is later developed further in the studio through highly technical printmaking processes, resulting in works which are rich in saturated colour and surface texture.

Marion graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2001 with a degree in Illustration and Visual Communication. Group exhibitions include the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition (numerous years including 2026), ‘Between Islands’, Graphic Studio Gallery, Dublin (2024), the Royal Scottish Academy Annual Exhibition, Edinburgh (2023), and ‘Good Nature’ at Candida Stevens Gallery, Chichester (2017). Solo exhibitions have been presented by The Airt Gallery, Aberdeenshire (2010) and Glasgow Print Studio (2011), amongst others. Her work is held in numerous private collections. Marion has also worked at Glasgow Print Studio since 2009.

We are proud to present new work by Marion in our upcoming group exhibition And Other Animals. Please contact us to request a catalogue preview.
