Kilbarchan Trio Launch Art Exhibition In Glasgow’s West End

A trio of artists from Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, are launching an art exhibition in Glasgow’s West End.

The exhibition, entitled Triple Exposure, will run from Friday 3rd December until Sunday 5th December at Partickhill Bowling Club and Community Centre. It will feature a selection of artwork from Artists Liz MacKinlay, Margaret Borthwick, and Maryel FitzRandolph.

The trio have been painting together at local art classes, clubs, and in nature for eight years, and are delighted to have on display and for sale a range of their pieces that illustrate the individual styles and points of view of each woman as an artist.

Artist Profiles

TV costume designer and art teacher Liz MacKinlay is exhibiting some of her water colours alongside her felting and embroidery. A keen sailor, some of Liz’s works are inspired by her voyages around the West Coast of Scotland.

Former Johnstone GP and current student with the Open College of Art Margaret Borthwick, is primarily interested in landscape painting inspired by local spots including Glennifer Braes and Castle Semple. Margaret’s work often explores detail in fungi, textures of tree bark, and shapes of tangled tree branches in oils, pen and wash, and acrylic inks

Canadian-born Maryel FitzRandolph was brought up on an apple farm in Nova Scotia which bred a keen interest in nature. Maryel often paints scenes from nature including trees, landscapes, and flowers in oils and watercolours. She is also inspired by her travels including trips to Nepal and Antarctica.

Cards by another local artist, Judith Beattie, will also be available to view and purchase.

Commenting on the forthcoming launch, Maryel FitzRandolph said;

As three friends with a shared passion for art, we are delighted to have the opportunity to exhibit together at such a beautiful venue.

We very much look forward to welcoming visitors to our exhibition and hope they gain enjoyment and inspiration from our works on display.
