Manja Scott

Manja was born in Croatia and then spent many years in Africa where she still draws inspiration, including a love of nature and ethnic art.

Manja’s early training as a dancer and choreographer in the Laban method has been a key influence on her work. The relationship between forms - their rhythm, colour and texture - is physically felt. Each work is a journey of exploration and discovery from the first mark throughout to its completion.

Since 1998 the focus for Manja’s work has been drawing, printmaking and painting. The interplay between line, form and colour, and how the relationship is changed by the medium used, continues to fascinate her.
