Neave McCormick

Paisley based painter and designer, Neave McCormick, has been developing her skills in contemporary painting for the past several years. Obtaining an honours degree in printed textiles from the Glasgow School of Art in 2020, Neave has always had a passion for painting. Combining her training in textiles with more illustrative ideas, Neave produces painted work that strives to convey a narrative as well as honouring her skills in pattern based working. Neave’s recent work explores the self, our inner selves and our relationship between our physical and spiritual bodies. Her process involves photography, digital manipulation and different drawing techniques to establish a finished piece, usually in oil paint. As well as drawing on abstract spiritual experiences such as reiki sessions, Neave uses her own body as reference in her work. This conveys an intimate and visceral tone throughout, striving to represent strength, beauty and power, creating some deeply personal pieces.
