Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, Imogen Alabaster works in oils to make dreamlike paintings where layers of explosive colours, bold figures and mysterious creatures capture your imagination.
​
Recently she has been creating a series of self-portraits. Her appearance alters each day and with every experience. By continually studying her own image she explores how internal anxieties and past grief and joy has left its physical impression.
​
She has also been creating detailed portraits of friends. Everybody has hidden scars - some physical and some psychological. With every delicate brush stroke Alabaster hopes to gently express how stunning they and their 'flaws' are, both visually and spiritually.
