Art Exhibitions

Mid July - Mid September 2010

Graeme Wright
Graeme has reached an age where he is increasingly aware of his mortality and no longer buys books that are too long. He tends to read the last page first! He is unsure whether younger women are flirting with him, or just being nice as he reminds them of their father. He dismisses all suggestions that he may be approaching a mid-life crisis and has recently bought a bright red sports car.
He tends to draw people who are 'wrinklier' than himself, and insists that all these facts are unrelated. His varied styles are most likely as a result of an, as yet, undiagnosed attention deficit disorder. He enjoys sailing, and increasingly fears country & western music and dancing in public. In his spare time he practices law.

Coming Up Later in 2010

Don McNeil and Jean Bell
Don and his wife Jean are returning once again to Chatters with gimmicks and lots of fun reflecting the wonderful landscape that Argyll offers with vibrant colours and plenty of movement..

Newton School of Painting
A highly individualised style of painting by a group of keen artists who meet weekly at Jean Bell's studio at Newton on the shores of Loch Fyne. Their style of painting shows a confidence in mark making, use of colour, and mot being afraid to be different. It is hoped you enjoy looking at this exhibition as much as the artists enjoyed painting it.

Jimmy O'Neill
Jimmy's specialist work is Fine Metal Repousse clocks, mirrors and lamps. In jewellery his main work is earrings, brooches, rings and bracelets, specialising in silver and precious stones.

All Year Round

Vivien Robertson
Inspired by the Scottish mountains and shoreline, Vivien's unusual jewellery designs incorporate silver wire, beads and iridescent paua shell, which she first discovered while tracelling in New Zealand. Her workshop and lively home for the past seven years is a converted church overlooking the Clyde.

Ann Baxter
A graduate of Edinburgh college of Art, Ann produces an everchanging colourful display of jewellery and feltwork.

Susan M Turmeau
Susan trained at Edinburgh College of Art in Jewellery Design and graduated in 1995 with a BA(Hons) degree. Her jewellery design is about the wonders of nature and also refers to Stromness on Orkney, her ancestral home. No two pieces are ever the same. All are hand-made in her workshop in Innellan.
