Barbara Rae has been preoccupied for many years with the remoteness of Celtic highlands and has developed a Northern Romantic view of its dereliction with subjects such as crofts and quarries. Rae also has visited Spain during which she found many similarities with Spanish Uplands and the Scottish Highlands. Rae's paintings are not fixed views but ever changing landscapes. Rae seeks to capture not traditional views of the Scottish countryside. Instead she tries to reflect a series of shapes and forms that have a direct connection with the landscape.
