I don’t often paint exactly what I see. Instead, each piece is a sort of jigsaw of images that I’ve sketched, all knitted together to produce a painting that I hope will evoke in the viewer a pleasant memory of something from their own experience. what to expect: You’ll see current work in progress and I’ll explain my various techniques, including how I combine charcoal with acrylics or oils and my method of scaling up and composing large works. Original paintings, framed prints and greeting cards will also be available.
Street parking beside or opposite the studio. Disabled parking in the driveway.
directions: Travel south on the main road out of Kirkcudbright (A711 – a continuation of St. Mary Street). The Fox Hole Studio is on the right hand side of the road before you reach the national speed limit (end of 30mph) sign. recommendation: Solway Tide Café, St Cuthbert Street, Kirkcudbright. A lovely café with an attractive outdoor eating area.

Leafworks are unique collages using pressed leaves and flowers collected from the woods and gardens of south-west Scotland and beyond. The driving force behind my work is the desire to celebrate the natural world and capture the beauty and vibrancy of nature. what to expect: I collect leaves and flowers which are pressed in to old telephone directories. I have a large collection of dried material which I use to create Leafworks. I will demonstrate the process during Spring Fling. I will be exhibiting framed and unframed pieces, cards and Leafwork kits.
Plenty of parking spaces in village. 10% discount for Spring Fling Friends. £0 - £900
