From her home on the Black Isle, Doda finds endless inspiration in the ever-shifting natural world that surrounds her. She has long been fascinated by the minutiae of nature, and can lose herself for hours working on the intricacies. Whether she uses acrylic, watercolour, coloured pencil, or gouache—even when painting a larger image—she cannot stop herself from focusing on the tiny details.
Doda's connection to the natural world extends beyond the Highlands. A period living in Central America offered her a privileged glimpse of the abundant and exotic flora and fauna of the region. The sheer explosion of colour and diversity was a sensory feast. Though her current subjects may be more local and familiar, that sense of awe never fades.
