Celebrating the first of many exhibitions.

Celebrating the first of many exhibitions.

" The Dundas Street Gallery, Edinburgh is a marvellous space for an eclectic range of pop up art exhibitions.  This week there’s a superb collection of hand crafted, sculptured ‘seascapes’ displayed on towers of white boxes complemented by colourful, decorative maps around the walls. " - Vivien Devlin

This July I celebrated my first exhibition with island artist Donald Libby. I had no idea what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised to sell my first large A1 limited edition 'The Beauty of Us' art piece.

Vivien Devlin was kind enough to attend and write an extensive blog about our Edinburgh adventure. See here

 ‘I find that being born and brought up on an Island shapes you as an individual and as an artist – surrounded by the sea, rugged coastlines and beautiful beaches is where I find my inspiration’.

                                                       - Donald Libby

Vivien writes " His art materials are sourced from beachcombing walks to find salvaged driftwood, water bottles, rusty nails, fishing nets and mooring buoys, washed up by the waves on to the sand.  Working in his Studio Shed, Libby has such a magical imagination to transform these found treasures into unique, hand crafted sculptures. "

" The planning, organisation and travel to set up this exhibition has been a huge effort, having to drive a truck, by road and ferry from Stornoway, with an extensive range of artwork to Edinburgh.  Do take a visit if you can to the Dundas Street Gallery this week to see Eilidh and Donald’s artwork – prices are very reasonable for these finely crafted maps, seascape models and also useful key holders – perfect presents too.

This is a creative debut collaboration between two distinctive artists who share a dramatic imagination and evocative sense of place.  I do hope this review will encourage a gallery on the Isle of Lewis to offer the two artists the space to show off their inspiring artwork in their own Homeland. "
