We are excited to welcome Elinor Stanley to the Roberts Institute of Art Residency in Scotland today as our first resident of 2026.    Elinor is a London-based painter and a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools. Her practice uses painting to amplify and heighten psychological experience; the figurative focus of a painting shifts as a confused eye might. Colour is pitched at a high frequency, huge heads swim, perspective lurches, bodies repeat. Dynamics between subjects are played by peculiar instruments of scale, perspective and speed.
 During the residency, Elinor plans to develop a new body of work. With interests in economy, angels, narrative and humour, she will visit the National Library of Scotland to explore the Muriel Spark archive and will also spend time at the National Galleries of Scotland, developing her interest in storytelling through painting. She will also spend time meeting students and staff at Gray’s School of Art.

Welcoming to the with the recent acquisition of ‘Shell Flex (Porthmeor)’ (2025)

Kuschke’s abstract painting practice gives form to a confluence of cultures, migratory patterns and memory - her works evolving through a process of layering and revision to reflect lived experience.

Rooted in her time during a two-month residency at Porthmeor Studios in St Ives, Cornwall, the work draws on Porthmeor’s tidal landscape and its shifting light, rhythms and traces, where marks emerge and dissolve like the movement of sea and sand.

We are delighted to be welcoming Gina to the Roberts Institute of Art Residency this May, where she will spend time developing her practice in Scotland.
