Some notes from the artist:

These watercolour paintings have grown out of my relationship with Scottish landscapes.

Over the last year, I have spent time walking in, observing and sketching landscapes from Aberdeenshire to Orkney to
Mull.

I have absorbed these places deep inside me, and then let them emerge onto paper as and when they want.

These paintings are therefore as much about me and my emotional response to place as they are about this amazing country.

Please note the opening night (9th June) of the exhibition is 6.00pm to 9.00pm. Between the 10th and 16th June the exhibition is open 9.00am to 5.00pm.

Join us for a guided woodland wander. The route will take us along the shore of Loch Garten, winding its way beneath towering pine trees and leading down to Loch Mallachie. We will listen for the chirps of crossbills and the trills of crested tits, and look for tell-tale signs of red squirrels while exploring the undergrowth of Caledonian pine forest. The walk will follow footpaths and last roughly 3 hours, please wear sturdy footwear and dress appropriately for the weather.
Toilets will be available at the beginning and end of the walk at the Nature Centre. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome. Please arrive 15 minutes before the walk begins.
