Fiona Meyer
Studio 1 – Iona Gallery | Still experimenting with different styles and techniques. I love the spontaneity, effects and uniqueness that throwing colour and different mediums around can bring. My current work exploits the immediacy of acrylics in a fusion of design and the organic flow of lines – bringing movement and colour into play.

Studio 3 – Jan Hutchison | My textile art work evolved from a lifelong passion for sewing. Joining a textile art group in 2012 changed direction with my sewing skills using the fabric to do the talking to create artworks. My inspiration comes from my travels and local surroundings and are always a one-off journey.

Studio 6 | I’ve been experimenting with alcohol ink for many years, it is quite different to other mediums. The ink is often unpredictable and difficult to control and I have learned to embrace it. My paintings show many different techniques all put together in each piece.
