March Exhibition in the Stables Gallery with artist Theresa Gourlay

It took me some time to discover Fife. I was born in Dundee in 1959 and graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone in 1982. I finally left in 1987, first for Liverpool to train as a teacher, then to teach in Hartlepool, Rotherham, Sheffield and Doncaster before landing in Aberdour in 1994. I have lived in Strathmiglo and Falkland and am now home in Freuchie.

I spend a lot of time looking and walking and looking and sketching in a few miles radius of my house in Freuchie. Thanks to our wonderful changeable weather no vista looks the same twice, skies are soft pink grey, blue grey, orange grey with just the occasional peep of blue, clouds are heavy and dark with rain with a sudden bright fissure – from something called the sun!  So many greens against the rich blue black turned earth and the subtle pinks of the dry paths! Who would live anywhere other than Fife?

It is lovely to be exhibiting at the Stables again! This time I have mostly smaller landscapes in a variety of materials – some ink, some coloured pencil, a little bit of pastel and some a mixture of two or more with biro added in places too.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy it!

Exhibition is free to view. Open 10am to 4pm every day.
