Sarah Freeman studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 1993. Her work is mostly figurative, observational drawing. She loves to embed moments in her memory or to make visual explorations of people, objects and places. In recent years she has exhibited with several FBA societies and the RSW.
Minnie Scott is an Edinburgh-based artist. Finding inspiration in film and found images, she makes work thinking about storytelling, fantasy and nostalgia. She has worked in art museums for many years, and studied Contemporary Portraiture at Art Academy, London, graduating in 2022. Her work has been shortlisted for the Scottish Portrait Award and she has shown paintings at the Royal Society of Portrait Painters and the Scottish Society of Artists annual exhibitions.

Aleksandra Zawada • Jim Douglas
Bluebelle; Aleksandra Zawada

Aleksandra Zawada is an artist who lives and works in Edinburgh. She graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 2011 and has worked in painting and photography, and since 2018, primarily in ceramic sculpture. She is a recipient of the RSA Wilhelmina Barns-Graham Travel Scholarship (2011) and a professional member of Edinburgh Sculpture Workshop.
Aleksandra Zawada is interested in what we value, preserve and how we categorise: people and objects, most of her works have touched on these while merging the past into a visual narrative of her own.
From 2018 Zawada turned to 3D work, working in sculpture mainly in ceramics ( and most recently bronze). Her works are hand built and figurative. She focuses on simple form.
Jim Douglas. As a keen birdwatcher and recorder, he has been studying seabirds feeding, nesting and in flight along the East Coast of Scotland as a prelude to learning about their seasonal patterns of behaviour. He draws directly from cliff tops or along the coast as well as taking photographs and videos. He looks for characteristic gestures and movements that indicate significant features of their behaviour. He conveys these in drawings and 3-D forms using drawing media, clay, plaster, aluminium mesh and card. His sculptures thus point the way towards a story about the little known lives of these beautiful seabirds many of which are pelagic for most of the year, spreading out near and far across the globe. They also convey his response to to their beautiful forms, their grace and movement.
