Capital artists collaborate for a second time
Following a successful joint exhibition last year, Edinburgh artists, Gillian Henshaw and Gill Knight, are working on a second collaboration.
Land, Sea & Flora Art will take place on 11 and 12 November at 4 Belford Park, Edinburgh and will blend the artists’ two styles - vibrant flowers and moody land and seascapes - complementing each other in a unique way.
Gillian Henshaw started her career in marketing, but art has always been her passion. Wherever she lived, she always found a place to paint. She said: “Inspired by flowers and colours, I am in my element painting still life flowers and particularly French scenes with colours and textures. The feedback we received last year was very positive and I am delighted to put this show together with Gill again.”
PASSION AND DRIVE
Gill Knight’s passion for art began at school and she has always had the drive to create. Her first career was in the hospitality business as a chef before taking up painting seriously. She said: “I’m excited to exhibit with Gillian again. I have put together a selection of some very atmospheric and energetic pieces which complement Gillian’s work perfectly. All original seascapes, landscapes, abstract, dark and moody, emotional and dramatic.”
The show is being hosted by Gill’s sister, Lorna Macdonald, who is looking forward to welcoming visitors to her house in the West End of Edinburgh.
She said: “When I saw the girls’ work together last year, it looked great. This year they will have even more art to choose from and during these challenging times there really is something for everyone - a wide range of sizes and price tags. I am really excited to be hosting this fabulous exhibition.’”
