Carolyn Burchell was born in Edinburgh in 1961 and studied at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1979 to 1984.

Though the external environment informs her artwork, it is also deeply introspective and examines the personal and symbolic significance of landscape features and what they represent to the artist and the viewer.

Burchell is interested in the therapeutic aspect of painting and drawing and in how metaphor and symbolism operate in the works of particular artists. She is keen to explore the sense of stillness or tranquillity captured in a moment where weather and light can change instantly.
