Artist of the week: Veronica Madden

Graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 1997 with a degree in Tapestry, I was a secondary teacher of Art and Design for over twenty years and am now enjoying more time for weaving. The coast of Scotland is a major inspiration. I love the contrasts: the power of the sea juxtaposed to the calm feeling when I am there. Exploring natural forms; rhythm and balance in shape, colour and texture emerge subconsciously in my work, whether drawing or weaving.
