Hello, my name is Mhairi Longmuir, and Nooc is my work as an artist. I am from the dramatic west coast of Scotland and now live in the Cairngorms National Park. I was born from a family of seafood restaurateurs, oil-riggers, boat builders, clam divers and fish-gutters. After a 5 years studying in Glasgow and 3 years travelling round the world, I returned to the Highlands, the area I grew up in and love. Up until now, I’m mostly known for my commercial multimedia and branding business (which includes graphic design, website design, motion design and instructional design), I also worked at the University of the Highlands and Islands for 9.5 years.
Inspired by slightly mystical vibes in lichen-encased forests, old Scots Pine tree islands, dense gnarly branches, mysterious undergrowth, and conversely bright and energetic blooms and effervescent textures. Sometimes playful, sometimes moody, always with an element of chaos and energy. THE SEA. Ebb and flow. The otherworldly micro and macro of rock pools. Moody lochs. And swimming in hidden sparkly plunge pools.
Nooc aims to construct products in a socially and environmentally responsible manner, with the help of local needleworkers and social enterprises. I hope to encourage people to nurture connections with our wild spaces and ancient culture, with a wee sprinkle of daft imagination.
Products created to provide a momentary corner (or Nooc) to escape from the ordinary.
I look forward to releasing lots of new artwork soon, and you can sign up to my newsletter if you are interested to hear and see more.
Bespoke printing and framing options
In addition to offering standard and giclée printing for every print, we also have a wide range of frame options. We stock minimal grey frames, however we can also custom-make a frame in a massive range of colours and style, so that it perfectly matches your new art print and interior living space. Our custom frames are made to exact specifications by a company that frames for the Tate, so you can be assured that they are the highest quality. Do not hesitate to contact us with questions, we are always happy to provide room mock ups, so you can see what your new art might look like in your room, by simply sending a photograph. We can also provide any print as a high quality giclée up to A2 size. You can read more about this on our Fine Art Printing information page.
