I’m Philippa, a linear artist from Scotland

I draw the places people love

My eye stays on the subject rather than the paper, so each line is made in a single instinctive attempt, capturing not just how the place looks but how it feels.

Based in Edinburgh I work in ink, watercolour and pastel finding the beauty in things most people walk past: a pub on the first warm evening, the house you grew up in, the restaurant where it happened, that special view. My work celebrates the small, everyday moments that make a place memorable.

I take commissions and work with independent businesses to create drawings with a sense of character, place and personality.

3rd-6th November I’m exhibiting at The Mall Galleries in London

5th-6th December I will be at the Assembly Rooms Christmas Fair, Edinburgh
