About the Artist

Jane and Pat both work with textiles, print, paper and stitch. Jane takes her inspiration from the urban environment and Pat is influenced by travelling and her love of photography.
Hilary paints mainly in acrylic and oils and is inspired by the land and seascapes of Scotland. Anne finds inspiration in the surrounding countryside and creates her landscapes and artists books primarily with inks.

Jane is a textile artist and tutor who loves the lines and patterns found in the urban man made environment. She is inspired by architecture, both old and new, roads, bridges, signage and industrial landscapes. Her main medium is printed or painted fabric with added stitch. She also works in mixed media on board.

The Artist Book has become one of Pat's favourite methods of expressing her creative thoughts. Her textile background however always means stitch and often fabric make an appearance in books. Pat took part in the 100 Days Project Scotland in 2020 and 2021, and is planning to display her first project titled #astitchadaybunting for the first time if she can find all 100 pieces! She will be also be displaying mounted mixed media pieces, hand made cards and some framed textile art. Pat has exhibited recently in Artist Book exhibitions at the Upright Gallery in Edinburgh.

Anne's main inspiration is the surrounding countryside with its ever changing moods, colours and textures. These appear in her colourful and textured landscapes, often with the addition of her oak gall and copper oxide inks. She also incorporates her artwork into small notebooks and concertina artists books.

Hilary is a self taught artist working mainly with oils and acrylics. Her inspiration comes from the stunning land and seascapes of Scotland and she works from sketches and photographs taken while enjoying the great outdoors.
