I have been invited by The Park Gallery to exhibit a selection of my work at the up and coming Winter Warmth exhibition which will take place in The Park Gallery’s new location on the ground floor of Callendar House in Falkirk. Winter Warmth is now in it’s 6th year and has built up a reputation for showcasing original, high quality art and design work from a wealth of artists, designers and craft makers in Scotland and the UK. I’m lucky to be one of this years 25 artists.
Each year the exhibition is themed and this year The Park Gallery are focusing on Sustainability and want to showcase quality contemporary design which demonstrates innovative use of sustainably produced materials, or that has been created using techniques which minimise environmental impact.
“We’re tremendously excited about this new exhibition of sustainability and eco-friendly design at the Park Gallery in Callendar House. All work is for sale and available to take away. It will be a great opportunity to see innovative artwork of the highest standard, and will provide an irresistible choice if you’re looking for unique ideas for your Christmas shopping,”
