The work of three Perthshire-based artists is featured in the spring exhibition at the Ruthven Gallery, Auchterarder, which runs from April 4 to June 3. |
| The locally-based artists are Margaret Evans, Caroline Best and Iona Leishman, who are sharing gallery space with Hugh Kirkwood, Cara Mckinnon Crawford and Gillian Allan. |
| Caroline is curious to explore different techniques and materials, including clay, cement, wax, wood, stone and mixed media, casting in either cold or hot bronze and occasionally terracotta. Caroline prefers to progress in series, as can be seen in her series of Angels, some of which are included in this exhibition. |
| Rich, luscious colours and textures draw Iona to combined media which can include oil, pastel, charcoal, ink and collage all in one piece of work. Her paintings are both exciting and intricate – very eye-catching but also rewarding to close scrutiny. |
| Margaret Evans is continually inspired to produce colourful and striking new work from her experiences both at home and the places which her painting workshops take her to. Her travels have taken her throughout Europe, India, Australia and USA. |
