The theme for our Christmas Selling Exhibition this year is MIDWINTER. We have 16 artists working across a variety of media, 2D and 3D, printmaking, painting, collage, textiles, drawing.
Here is just a brief look at each artist and their work together with links to their websites to find out more:

Georgia Boyd works in a variety of mediums, from oil painting to detailed graphite drawings exploring the human form, animals and landscape. https://georgiaboydart.com/
Kat Broughton’s abstract seascapes create an immense sense of calm and stillness. www.katbroughtonart.com
Diane Cook’s work in Midwinter uses a combination of watercolour, ink and natural fabrics to create abstract landscapes inspired by Kinneil Woods. www.instagram.com/diane_m_cook
Mal Cowie’s work is rooted in the local landscape and for Midwinter he uses the monotype printmaking medium with oils instead of ink, playing with rolled backgrounds and then layering up the images of a robin. www.malcowieart.com
Ronnie Cruwys lives and is inspired by the Clyde Valley, the ‘fruit basket of Scotland. She builds layered and collaged paintings in acrylic, oil pastel and ink. www.ronniecruwys.com
Louise Darcy’s submission is three delicate atmospheric watercolours, the bright colours still capturing the chill of winter. www.louisedarcyart.com
Kathryn McFarlane’s abstract collages use colour, texture, layering, found materials and typography to create work that is both playful and thoughtful. https://www.kathrynmcfarlane.co.uk/
