Artists at work

I currently have a painting on display at the Scottish National Gallery as part of the Artists at Work exhibition (12 May – September 2018).

Artists at Work shows 74 works by members of staff from across the entire organisation. It is a varied and inspiring selection created by, amongst others, gallery attendants, conservators, retail team members and volunteers. All the staff are driven by a keen passion for visual arts, and many of them are artists themselves.

My painting, A Face Of Silk Everyday (number 51) is in the 3rd column from right to left and is the 2nd one down in the photograph above. So, please visit and then enjoy a view of Princes Street Gardens from the café

Here are some recent comments left in the visitors book:

Excellent idea, amazing skill level and variety of media, subjects etc. This should be an annual fixture. What a great idea to showcase the talent of the staff. I love the cockerel. So simple. So good.

This is a really lovely idea. I think, all of you should be more famous for what you do
