Siobhan McLaughlin is an artist and freelance curator based in Glasgow. Her art practice combines personal experience of walking with sustainable devices, such as sewing remnant materials, to create non-traditional landscape paintings. Through drawing, printmaking, painting and installation she explores themes of place, memory, sustainability and ecology.
Alongside exhibiting regularly, McLaughlin’s curatorial practice focuses on creating opportunities for sharing and opening up private, inaccessible spaces to the public. In 2022 she curated a major private collections exhibition, Alan Davie: Beginning of a Far-off World, at Dovecot Studios, Edinburgh, and in 2023, Scottish Landscapes: A New Generation, showcasing the work of 10 recent graduates from Scottish art schools.
McLaughlin completed her MA Fine Art at Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art in 2019. Since then she has been awarded the SSA Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Award, the Visual Art Scotland Cornwall Exchange Residency and the Stephen Palmer Travel Award. She is also a Trustee of the Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Trust.
