Oryn works predominantly in acrylic gouache, giving her work a vibrancy. She is heavily inspired by childhood memories and feelings, as well as the Scottish Highlands in which she grew up. Her work often takes on themes of being alone, friendship and folklore. Oryn’s goal is for her art to evoke a feeling of cosiness and comfort as well as a sense of wonder.
When she is not making art she enjoys a cup of tea, and adventures in the hills.
Publishers – you will see more of Oryn’s art and ideas at Bologna and beyond!
