Made a callout on a-n last year for artists to make contact with me here on the stunning island of Hoy, Orkney. Waited to see what transpired. Was there anyone out there? What would happen by just sending out a tentative ‘hello’? What’s emerged from this is a plan to show some lovely shoreline birds in our waterfront display area by Adele Pound from Northern Ireland. Folks in the community here on Hoy are invited to come & see, get inspired & join in.

My personal practice is concerned with exploring notions of continuity in any media. However, my creative business projects are centred on community engagement, facilitating workshops & organising exhibitions. I have a beautiful waterfront location on the island of Hoy, which is one of the Orkney Islands in the North Sea off the North East coast of Scotland. In this idyllic spot I have a small exhibition gallery & classroom space overlooking the quiet bay. This is a registered Arts Award Centre & there is a programme of Summer events that take inspiration from the stunning wildlife in this location. Www.beachgallery.co.uk
