Dronma

 

Glasgow born artist  studied at Laurel Bank and then Glasgow School of Art, where she graduated in 1969.

After studies at Jordanhill College of Education, and a period of teaching she was appointed Art Director of Glasgow Arts Centre.

Until April 2008 Dronma was a part time lecturer at Forth valley College. She now devotes her time fully to her painting, and a member of the Glasgow Society of Women Artists.(GSWA). Awarded Scottish Amicable Award 2007 at their 125th Anniversary Exhibition.

Painting is Dronma’s first love, and one of her earliest memories is of being given a stool and water-colour materials and sitting alongside her father learning to paint.
Dronma decided to study sculpture at Art School. The sense of form which she developed at this time can still be seen in her paintings. The sensuous sweeps and curves are reminiscent of the plasticity of clay.

Dronma’s vibrant landscapes have gained her a fine reputation amongst discerning buyers of contemporary Scottish Art, as a modern colourist. Her bold expressive style evoke the character inherent in Scotland’s mountains and shores. The charged brush strokes don’t just depict the scenes, but conjure up the ever changing elements and the atmosphere of place.

Dronma has been a Tibetan Buddhist since 1976. Her unusual name is her Tibetan Buddhist name. Dronma understands the rewards of meditation. Her landscapes may be wild and wind swept, but they also gleam with an inner light. Her work has been exhibited all over the United Kingdom, and are in private collections world-wide. She recently took part in “Primavera Art” Rotterdam

Dronma’s commissioned portraits are appreciated from the Outer Hebrides to New Delhi.
