About MUSE - ART To Amuse And Inspire

Muse is curated to both amuse and inspire. The artists exhibiting a wide range of traditional and contemporary techniques including stoneware, silversmithing, needle felting, linocut, illustration and painting.

Ceramic sculptor, Liz Gossan creates individual ceramic pieces mainly using hand building techniques. Everything is fired to stoneware temperatures making her pieces suitable for outdoor as well as indoor display. She draws inspiration from landscape and coastal contours, colours and textures throughout the seasons.

Brenda Raspin creates sculptures of animals and birds using needle felting techniques to place her pieces in a ’story book‘ setting. Using British wool wherever possible her work highlights the rugged effect of Herwick wool and the solidity of Cheviot wool for creating a strong base for her pieces which are detailed and full of character, often seeming alive.

Moira Predeschi makes one off sterling silver jewellery using traditional techniques drawing inspiration for her design from the shape and texture within wood, stone and flora making fine pen drawings to highlight the process that leads to her wonderful and eye-catching designs and statement pieces. Moira introduces colour in selected pieces using semi precious stones, beads and enamelling on silver and copper.

Kirsten Harris draws inspiration from the proverb ‘If Wishes Were Horses’ which was first recorded at Carmichael Estate in 1628. The proverb is a theme for her bold and expressive large and small paintings, illustrations and a tarot deck. Using both fine art and abstract technique in her work she is interested in rewilding, conservation and inspiring hope. Beyond animal subjects her work also includes land and seascapes.

Annie Stillman is inspired by the livestock and wild ‘beasties' in the local landscape, creating quirky and characterful animals with paintings that tell a humorous and often fanciful story using both oil and acrylic. Highland cows are a particular favourite to paint, often to be seen enjoying a wee dram.
