'Common Ground'

Dundas Street Gallery, Edinburgh
23 — 29 January 2020


A joint exhibition showing the work of Mel Blair, Mo Calder, Alison Leach and myself.

The title ‘common ground’ refers to the studio space we share in the Wasps art complex in Edinburgh and to our very different approaches to depicting the Scottish natural world and landscape.

I showed six pieces.
