Tansy Lee Moir is an artist with a passion for trees.

Her work is inspired by the forms and history of old trees and the influence that humans, animals and natural processes have in shaping them: in the way they provide a solid representation of time.

"Through an intense process of looking and drawing, my dialogue with trees asks not just what they look like, but also what looking at trees can tell us about ourselves.”

She works predominantly in charcoal and pastel in her Edinburgh studio and in woodland locations around Scotland and her native Peak District.
