Family Ties at Emerald Gallery

by Susan Mackie and Ali Mackie

Family Ties is a mother and daughter collection of paintings documenting our individual art paths, which are interwoven with a shared narrative.  Coming from a family background rich in botanical knowledge, it is not surprising that our work, although varied, shows a common thread of plantlike forms from garden inspiration. Working from our respective studios in North Yorkshire and Buckinghamshire through supportive conversations ideas flourish.  The finished work shows how we each interpret our own unique approaches to mixed media art making.
