Born in Thailand, Kanita grew up surrounded by the vibrant colours of the gorgeous Thai silks, which were produced in her parent’s Thai silk factory in Bangkok.  This early influence of colour and fabric has had a hugely important effect on Kanita’s work.

Kanita studied textile design at Gray’s School of Art in Aberdeen. Her love of colour and her knowledge of fabric design can be seen in the pleasing compositions and subtle, often imaginative colourings of her paintings, to which she has now turned full time.

This exhibition will run until 3 September 2017

We would like to invite you to our Castles and Coast exhibition which has just opened featuring a vibrant range of art works that celebrate the variety of seascapes and castles in Scotland.  The exhibition will run until 20th August.

We would like to introduce a new artist to the gallery. Linda Park is  a landscape artist based in Edinburgh. Her inspiration comes from dramatic scenes she sees all around her. Her paintings portray bold landscape interpretations mainly from places she visited in Scotland and France, looking at views from acute perspective in order to create dramatic compositions

Linda Park works in oils with a wide variety of brushes, knives, and other implements and she enjoys the freedom to create a rich and evocative world of colour, movement and texture.
