Spend Saturday morning with Angie Lewin and Jan Patience, surrounded by the new watercolours in Cultivated Colour.

Spend Saturday morning with Angie Lewin, who will be in conversation with writer and journalist Jan Patience, surrounded by the new watercolours in Cultivated Colour. Angie and Jan will talk about the making of this ambitious new body of work, from the flowers she grows in her Scottish hillside garden to the native plants found along nearby riverbanks and woodland tracks. Dahlias, parrot tulips, agapanthus and pelargoniums mingle with ceramics, decorative papers and wildflowers in paintings alive with colour and pattern. Hear directly from Angie about gardening, drawing, collecting and painting, and how the changing seasons continue to feed her work.

Jan Patience is one of Scotland’s most well-known and respected arts journalists. For the last 20 years, Jan has written regularly about art for publications such as The Herald, The Sunday Post and Homes & Interiors Scotland. She is also a regular arts expert on television and radio programmes. Listeners to and viewers of BBC Radio Four’s ‘Front Row,’ BBC Radio Scotland, the new BBC Scotland channel and Scottish TV are all familiar with Jan’s considered analysis. She is also a social media influencer in the arts sphere and has a strong and varied presence. She is co-author of a biography of the internationally-acclaimed Scottish artist, George Wyllie, called Arrivals & Sailings: The Making of George Wyllie (Polygon Books).

This is a seated event. Please note that The Gallery is on two floors, which is accessed by sets of stairs. Our Garden is open during fair weather only.
