I’m Phoebe, a Scotland based artist and Geology PhD student.
For my PhD I researched the interpretation of geological structures in the field. I used my technical structural geology fieldwork to consider how I, and others, perceived rocks. I developed a personal methodology of painting my outcrops to help me think better!
I work in my sketchbooks, primarily outdoors on breaks in adventures and in the field, painting colourful mixed media sketches of landscape and geology.
I have exhibited/presented my work at;
The Geological Society, London
Scottish Geology Trust Festival, Edinburgh
International Sedimentologist Conference, Aberdeen
European Geosciences Union, Vienna
Fort William Mountain Festival, Fort William
Dundee Mountain Film Festival, Dundee
North East Open Studios, Aberdeen
I have won funding from;
The Curry Fund, The Geologist’s Association
The History of Geology Group
The Des Reubens and Bill Wallace Grant, The John Muir Trust
