Festival 2023 August 5 - 12

A

Adrift Driftwood Art

Using hand built stoneware pottery pieces, alongside shells and driftwood foraged from her local beach,  Karen creates nostalgic seascapes and wall art. The upcycled nature of each means that every piece tells a story

Faye Alexander-MacLeod

Faye is inspired by the landscape of the West Coast and the coastal setting of the East Neuk. Early morning walks in the hills or along the coastal paths, soaking up the atmosphere is reflected in her subject matter.

Lucy Anderson

B

Anne Barclay: Ovenstone Artists

Landscape artist Anne Barclay is exhibiting  recent work at Ovenstone Artists.

Paul Bartlett

Stunning award-winning collages inspired by nature. Originals and prints for all budgets.

David Behrens

My work always uses movement in some way, whether that be abstract kinetic sculptures animating locally-found sea glass, or more representative maritime automata using locally sourced driftwood.

Kirstie Behrens

My recent etchings centre around a group of pine trees near Aberfeldy and a tree stump in Dunino Glen. The third place I explored was the dramatic Seaton Cliffs near Arbroath.

Reinhard Behrens

The icy parts of Naboland feature strongly in this year’s exhibition with the explorers’ hut magically shrunk to dollhouse size.

Allan Black

Allan Black’s paintings try to capture the ever-changing light and colour of the Scottish landscape.  The constantly changing sky tends to be the catalyst for the contrasting angles of cityscapes, open seascapes of the west coast and the harbours of the East Neuk. 

Jennifer Black

Jennifer is a self-taught textile artist working with recycled materials to hand-craft fabric creatures. Her work is playful and aims to capture the animal essence using shape, texture and colour.

Gavin Burnett

Derek Collins

My art is an extension of the paint effects I’ve been doing all my life. I mix pigments and lacquer together then add a little thinners then set it all on fire and that’s how I use the name Flaming Art. Once it’s dry I apply resin this gives it a high gloss finish that everyone wants to touch

Joan Creevy

Where I live gives me access to both countryside and the coast, which always inspires me. I paint mostly in oils, but I also work in other media.

Avril Cunningham

Working with mixed media, tools, textures and picking up inspiration on her travels helps to capture a sense of place and bring Avril’s work to life.

Heather Cunningham
