Man with wooden pail by Saxifraga Art by Moira Piazzoli in Glasgow

I am a Glasgow-based artist working in watercolour, pencil, ink and a range of mixed media. Favourite subjects include an eclectic mix of archaeological sites and artefacts, mountain landscapes, urban sketching and portraits. Previous work includes: Ink and watercolour postcards A4 and A5 mixed-media portraits Hockey and Shinty player portraits A4 and A5 watercolour and ink landscapes Travel sketches Saxifraga is a tiny, stubborn flower thriving on windy and rocky areas of the Alps, which never fails to make the rocks look barren - a bit like art can be a small and hopeful thing able to bring some colours and a speck of marvel to a grey day.
