We have invited Daisy Parris to join the Roberts Institute of Art Residency in Scotland this autumn.
Daisy Parris
September–October 2025
Daisy Parris is a UK-based painter whose work explores psychological space through a raw and expressive visual language. Combining direct text-based elements with abstract mark-making, Parris creates paintings that reflect the depths and peaks of human experience, relationships, and personal struggles.
Parris offers unflinching narratives alongside moments of quiet reflection and tenderness, acting as intimate self-portraits. Parris’ paintings capture personal battles and triumphs with honesty and intensity that are, at times, silent and contemplative, at others bold and unrestrained.
Daisy will use their time in Scotland to further the use of text in their paintings as well as taking advantage of the striking natural light available in Cortachy following on from their recent exhibition of new work, Back to the Sky (2024), at Sim Smith.
