MEMBER SPOTLIGHT | PATSY MCARTHUR

The Society of Scottish Artists is home to a diverse and dynamic community of artists. To showcase the work of our members, we’ve launched a monthly member spotlight, where one SSA Member is chosen at random to be featured on our website and social media. This month, we are excited to highlight Professional Member, Patsy McArthur.

Patsy works from an internal, emotional space shaped by memory and lived experience. Recent drawings, collages, and mixed media pieces centre around a recurring female figure, part self-portrait, part invention.

To be in with a chance of being featured in our monthly Member Spotlights, you must:

  • Have an active SSA Membership (Student, Graduate, Artist or Professional)
  • Have at least 3 images uploaded to your SSA artist page, including a main profile image.
  • Have an artist statement and link to your website or social media included on your SSA profile page.

If you are unsure how to complete your profile, there is a step-by-step video guide in the Members Area of our website, along with a whole host of other great resources!
