FIVE renowned painters with decades of experience are having their work showcased at an East Lothian gallery this month and next.

Rosemary Beaton, Alice McMurrough, Heather Nevay, June Carey and Helen Wilson are showcasing their art at the exhibition, which started earlier this month and runs until April 21 at Fidra Fine Art on Gullane’s Main Street.

Three years on from their first show as a group, the artists were excited to be exhibiting a mix of paintings and prints at Fidra.

According to Alan Rae, owner of the gallery, there is a “real sense of artistic adventuring in the work of all five artists”.

Ahead of the opening, he said: “It’s like all the artists, whose work I admired individually before they started working together, have been challenged and stimulated by the experience of being in Glasgow Print Studio together.

“June is renowned as a printmaker, but even she says that working with the others as a group and going back to basics when asked by them about various techniques has helped in her own work.

“I can’t wait to welcome the fab five to Fidra.”
