Welcome To Bratach Sith Studio

Pronounced- “Bra-tah Shee” My studio name came to me after doing some research on Celtic legends. Bratach Sith is a fairy flag made of brown silk and embroidered in red thread. This is a most treasured possession of the Clan McLeod of the Isle of Skye. Remnants are kept in Dunvegan Castle which I have seen making it all the more special. There are several legends attached to the flag.

Landscapes are a primary focus steeped in color and texture. Earth, trees, foliage, sea and rocks distorted through time and the extreme elements give an endless inspiration for ideas. From realism to a more recent exploratory textural expression. The immersion of nature with centuries of erosion evokes a desire to create as in the past with a needle, thread and paint capturing the feeling and time within the pieces.
