Hetty Haxworth was born in Oxford, in 1971. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1993, and has exhibited in the UK and abroad for the past 25 years. Her work has been shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, the Royal Scottish Academy and the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, The Scottish Society of Artists and selected touring shows to Ohio, Australia, LA, Denmark and Brussels.
She now lives and works from a studio in rural Aberdeenshire, working mainly with monoprinting. Monoprint can have an ephemeral quality, and she uses the process to capture the changing relationship between light and terrain.
The ever changing colours and shapes of the Aberdeenshire landscape is an important source of inspiration for Haxworth. As the countryside alters with the seasons, the work responds to transient shifts of light, capturing moments in colour.
