Born in Fife, I am predominantly an abstract artist, many of my paintings hover between abstract compositions of line and colour and representations of nature itself. A wide range of subject matter informs my work, from aerial perspectives of the Scottish landscape to the vibrant and ever changing inspirations I gather on my extensive travels. […]

Creative at heart and inspired by the rhythms of the natural world, Rankin collects found objects that speak to him—each piece a fragment of nature’s story—woven into the whimsical and reflective narrative of each sculpture. Rankin has worked alongside his wife Linda for over four decades, firing the kiln and mixing the distinctive glaze and […]

Robert Pereira Hind’s mixed media series ‘Out of Eden’ is minimal and striking. They’re made by using acrylic paint & organic photographic pigment layered onto gilded wooden backgrounds coated with shellac and art glazes. An important element of the work is that each piece, over the years will slowly oxidise and mature in appearance. While […]

She studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1979-83 gaining a degree in Art & Design/Ceramics. Throughout her working life she always kept up […]

Memory is still-life art in the making –  the concept at the heart of Rosanne’s Barr’s work.  In a word, flashback. Rosanne explores and captures the mood, emotion, colours of a place, a landscape filtered through the sands of lapsed time. These are imagined places – her Lands of Escape – but based on direct experience […]

Rosie Playfair graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Graphic Design, selling many of her college pieces to lecturers, other students and the public. Then she never picked up a paintbrush or pencil for the next 25 years, preferring PR, marketing and the occasional bit of interior design to satisfy her creativity. A […]
