BETH ROBERTSON FIDDES ‘ECHOES OF THE NORTH’
Solo Exhibition Opening Saturday 14th September 10am to 5.30pm
We are delighted to welcome Beth Robertson Fiddes back to the Strathearn Gallery in 2024 with her spectacular new solo exhibition ‘Echoes of the North’.
As one of Scotland’s most gifted and unique contemporary landscape artists, for this exhibition Beth has revisited some of her favourite locations from the Highlands and beyond, looking at them with a fresh and critical eye and adding years of painting experience.
The result is a collection of work offering a powerful tribute to the enduring spirit of Scotland’s natural environment.
We would like to warmly invite you all to join us in the gallery for the opening on Saturday 14th when Beth will be in attendance. Refreshments will be served.
This invitation features a selection of the works available - the full exhibition can be viewed online at www.strathearn-gallery.com

Beth Robertson Fiddes
In the world of noted Scottish contemporary landscape artists over the past years, few who have seen Beth Robertson Fiddes’ work would argue against her deserving a place up there amongst the best.
Bridging between realism and abstract painting, her evocative paintings capture the wild beauty of the Scottish wilderness with a skill and talent few possess. Her ability to paint and capture the movement of water is simply breathtaking and has deservedly garnered critical acclaim.
Beth eschews the more traditional bright and colourful vistas to create compositions unique to her – broader panoramas and mountains are combined with focussed pieces on specific elements and detail within the wild terrains she is so drawn to.
This approach allows Beth to fully accentuate details within her subject matter – a dynamic interplay of colour and texture with layer upon layer of paint is used to convey eroded rocks, crashing frenzied waves and sea foam, or polished stones serenely resting at the bottom of crystal clear rockpools.
Painting water is notoriously difficult yet Beth’s exceptional talent and over 20 years of professional practice honing her craft means she has the ability to translate movement, transparency and reflection flawlessly.
