Through a sensuous immersion in an enchanted imaginary landscape, Flora McLachlan’s work aims to express an inner world of myth and revelation. Her images are born in materiality, using impermanent and chaotic etching grounds to let chance in. The copper plate enters the mordant as into a witch’s cauldron: her work is subject to transformative spells. This intuitive style of working births a tentative and poetic personal mythology.

 

Flora McLachlan is based in West Wales, on the edge of a wild moor. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers and the Royal Cambrian Academy. In February 2025 Flora won the Eirian Llwyd Memorial Award for Printmaking in Wales. Flora has an MA Fine Art from Aberystwyth University where she is a Lecturer in Fine Art printmaking. Her work is held in the collections of the British Museum, Ashmolean Museum, and Aberystwyth School of Art.
