Much of my work seeks to explore how our physical experience of the landscape is coloured by the emotions and experiences we carry with us, and how in turn, being outdoors amplifies the topography of our mental state, for better or worse.

The second strand of my current practice is working to document through painting and sculpture the day-to-day of living with a degenerative condition.  Through this work I am seeking to enhance the language we use to talk about pain and its management.

Maddy Ross is a Glasgow-based painter, printmaker and sculptor working in a range of media.  Her current focus is working out in the landscape, inspired by a former life on the West Coast of Scotland and a childhood on the North Devon coast.

Maddy studied painting and printmaking at the Glasgow School of Art from 2010 to 2013.  She worked for a social care research charity until 2019.

Her work was recently selected for inclusion in the Royal Scottish Academy's Annual Exhibition 2020.
