She completed her honours degree in Interior Design at Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2019. Kate's practice is largely 2D drawings and paintings.

Richard J. Butler Island, 2023 Acrylic, Gouache and Watercolour on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Drawing inspiration from ancient art and mythology, Richard J. Butler's alluring paintings skirt the boundary between figuration and abstraction. Constructed of intricate surfaces built up in layers of grated pastel, acrylic gel and paint, his work often depicts figures and silhouettes that seem to dissolve within vast colour fields. Over the past seven years, the artist has developed a unique technique which consists of pressing large packing blankets onto the still wet painting, a method similar to that of decalcomania. The blankets' vertical lines are transferred to the painted surface, leaving a systematic imprint on the canvas whilst distorting the image. When viewed from a distance, recognisable forms appear while up-close, miniature abstract landscapes abound, creating sensual and hallucinatory surfaces that explore painting's illusionistic potential. Butler's work is held in private collections in the UK, USA, France and Belgium. He has exhibited with Bowman Sculpture, London; Masterpiece Art Fair, London; Modernity Stockholm, London; Hannah Barry Gallery, London; Canopy Collections, London; J. Hammond Projects, London; Kreuzberg Pavilion, Berlin; KARST, Plymouth.

Susan Preston Still Standing, 2023 Pastel and graphite pencil on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Susan Preston is an abstract painter using oil paint and pastel. These are mobile and versatile mediums; the imagery changes through the painting process, dissolving and reforming as a layered, ambiguous space develops. Through this meditative process, the work alludes to memory traces, to the shifting spaces between presence and absence, loss and retrieval. A piece is eventually resolved when the tension between the layers and the elements on the surface draw the viewer into the space, where the painting reveals its secrets slowly; these works repay contemplation. Susan Preston has exhibited widely, including in Strasbourg and London. Her work is in collections in Europe, Asia and the USA.

Yolanda Di Fede My Sister with the Healing Hands, 2023 Aquarel and pastel on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Born in Switzerland on 26 June 1968. Of Italian origin, Yolanda Di Fede lives and works in Zurich. Self-taught. She has an artistic sense since childhood, also participating in painting competitions as a child. She paints intuitively and above all Design and the world of fashion has always inspired her a little. As a child, she painted dresses in different color combinations and it can be seen that, in her painting style, she has an excellent color management, often using any decorative elements. However, she graduates in economics and commerce and decided to leave painting forever to devote herself to a more "reasonable" path, according to the world around her, working in the commercial field for 30 years. Ten years ago, however, everything changed in her life. She starts all over again and resumes the passions that gave her satisfaction as a child and that she neglected for her career. In addition to sewing, embroidery and dancing, she resumed painting during the Covid in 2021. And it is then that her participation in various artistic and collective events in Switzerland begins.

Ji Won Cha Bloom 2, 2023 Oil pastel and spray paint on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Ji Won Cha (b. South Korea) is an artist based in London. In 2020 she graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Painting, and is now enrolled on the MA programme at The Royal College of Art. Her paintings use the natural world as a metaphor, this subject becoming a matter for both a celebration of life and contemplation of fear; a subject of spiritual longing but also a subject of technical evolutionary development. The resultant works appear as flows of imagery from a seemingly unconscious mind.

Morag Caister New Sofa 2, 2023 Pencil and soft pastel on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Morag Caister (b. 1994) is an award winning British artist living and working in London. Since graduating from The University of Brighton Caister has exhibited in significant museums, galleries and art fairs in the UK and abroad, her first solo show taking place last summer in Tirana, Albania. Caister is the winner of Sky Art's televised series Portrait Artist of the Year 2022 and has artwork in private collections Soho House and The National Portrait Gallery. Caister is currently a candidate for Forbes 30 Under 30 Europe: Art & Culture. Caister's practice explores ultimate, existential themes through figuration. With references tying the subject to today in this era while considering timelessness, the work contributes toward a record of human experience. Caister works from live sittings and finds the figure in repetitive straggling painted lines before using colour sparingly.

Cecilia Charlton Portal 1, 2023 Pencil, coloured pencil and pastel on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About London-based American artist Cecilia Charlton received a BFA Painting in 2015 from Hunter College in NYC, and an MA Painting from the Royal College of Art, London in 2018. She creates hand-made embroideries and weavings that engage with the formal histories of abstraction to explore a broad range of themes including the cosmos, memory, and current events. Through manipulations of geometric pattern and colour her artworks achieve an optically challenging and playful approach, questioning the hierarchy between painting and textiles. Themes of feminism, human history, time and transcendence are inherently part of the hand-sewn work, and her investigation into the history of textiles from creative, cultural, and socio-economic perspectives underpins Charlton's studio practice. Spanning the mediums of textiles, installation, and art in the social sphere, the work results in conversation tending towards both the personal and the universal.

Lisa Golightly Blue Sea and Man, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Lisa Golightly's artistic career began with photography. Her father was a painter, and though she grew up exposed to his practice, she discovered her appreciation for photography at an early age. However, while working on her Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism BFA, she found her way back to painting, developing an artistic practice which marries a deep technical and theoretical understanding of photography with painting. "As straightforward as it may sound, I have fallen in love with the brush, the color, the intimate experience of painting and creating my own world." Today, Lisa's artistic practice still begins with photography. She first scours the internet and estate sales for bundles of anonymous old photography and film. Then, she reframes, rebuilds and reimagines existing subjects of these forgotten photos in the terms of her own memory. She exaggerates light and color in a way that recalls old film photography, painting in pastel, washed out palettes that mimic overexposed film. Working with acrylic, and painting in a distinct painterly style, she references impressionism, pointillism, as well as the oeuvre of Fairfield Porter and Lois Dodd to create paintings that are both anonymous and inherently personal in nature. Lisa's work straddles the line between the familiar and the anonymous, creating an uncanny gray area in which we can all find some part of ourselves, our history or our memory. Lisa further explores the relations between memory, physical distance and the passage of time in this body of work. These paintings are more an exploration of memory than a visual reproduction of film photography. They are a bricolage of truth, interpretation and memory that capture the act of suspending time and the innate flaws in doing so. These works also explore the sense of collective memory, and the universal nature of human experience. Lisa comments that when procuring old photographs, "Strangely, a lot of times it's like 'Oh that could have been my family.' It's fascinating how a lot of images are something we all have, certain things, times or places that we all document similarly." Born in Eugene, Oregon, Lisa Golightly studied at the University of Arizona where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism in 1996. Solo exhibitions include Marking Time, George Billis Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2020), Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, WA (2020), Recent paintings, Clove and Creek, Kingston, New York (2018), If Only For A Little While, Good Eye Gallery, Los Angeles CA (2016), and more. Her work has been reviewed in Paper Magazine, Luxe Interior and Designs, The Huffington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. She has participated in art fairs including the Venice Art Walk in Venice Beach, California. Her art was selected for a promotional campaign in London, England in celebration of International Women's Day. She was also chosen to produce an album cover and interior art for musician Alec Lytle. Lisa lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where she spends her days in the old carriage garage-turned-studio in the back yard of her 100-year-old home.

Lisa Golightly Hands on Waist, 2023 Acrylic on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Lisa Golightly's artistic career began with photography. Her father was a painter, and though she grew up exposed to his practice, she discovered her appreciation for photography at an early age. However, while working on her Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism BFA, she found her way back to painting, developing an artistic practice which marries a deep technical and theoretical understanding of photography with painting. "As straightforward as it may sound, I have fallen in love with the brush, the color, the intimate experience of painting and creating my own world." Today, Lisa's artistic practice still begins with photography. She first scours the internet and estate sales for bundles of anonymous old photography and film. Then, she reframes, rebuilds and reimagines existing subjects of these forgotten photos in the terms of her own memory. She exaggerates light and color in a way that recalls old film photography, painting in pastel, washed out palettes that mimic overexposed film. Working with acrylic, and painting in a distinct painterly style, she references impressionism, pointillism, as well as the oeuvre of Fairfield Porter and Lois Dodd to create paintings that are both anonymous and inherently personal in nature. Lisa's work straddles the line between the familiar and the anonymous, creating an uncanny gray area in which we can all find some part of ourselves, our history or our memory. Lisa further explores the relations between memory, physical distance and the passage of time in this body of work. These paintings are more an exploration of memory than a visual reproduction of film photography. They are a bricolage of truth, interpretation and memory that capture the act of suspending time and the innate flaws in doing so. These works also explore the sense of collective memory, and the universal nature of human experience. Lisa comments that when procuring old photographs, "Strangely, a lot of times it's like 'Oh that could have been my family.' It's fascinating how a lot of images are something we all have, certain things, times or places that we all document similarly." Born in Eugene, Oregon, Lisa Golightly studied at the University of Arizona where she received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fine Art Photography and Photojournalism in 1996. Solo exhibitions include Marking Time, George Billis Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2020), Linda Hodges Gallery, Seattle, WA (2020), Recent paintings, Clove and Creek, Kingston, New York (2018), If Only For A Little While, Good Eye Gallery, Los Angeles CA (2016), and more. Her work has been reviewed in Paper Magazine, Luxe Interior and Designs, The Huffington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. She has participated in art fairs including the Venice Art Walk in Venice Beach, California. Her art was selected for a promotional campaign in London, England in celebration of International Women's Day. She was also chosen to produce an album cover and interior art for musician Alec Lytle. Lisa lives and works in Portland, Oregon, where she spends her days in the old carriage garage-turned-studio in the back yard of her 100-year-old home.

Cecilia Charlton Portal 2, 2023 Pencil, coloured pencil and pastel on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About London-based American artist Cecilia Charlton received a BFA Painting in 2015 from Hunter College in NYC, and an MA Painting from the Royal College of Art, London in 2018. She creates hand-made embroideries and weavings that engage with the formal histories of abstraction to explore a broad range of themes including the cosmos, memory, and current events. Through manipulations of geometric pattern and colour her artworks achieve an optically challenging and playful approach, questioning the hierarchy between painting and textiles. Themes of feminism, human history, time and transcendence are inherently part of the hand-sewn work, and her investigation into the history of textiles from creative, cultural, and socio-economic perspectives underpins Charlton's studio practice. Spanning the mediums of textiles, installation, and art in the social sphere, the work results in conversation tending towards both the personal and the universal.

Yolanda Di Fede The Town at Seaside, 2023 Aquarel and pastel on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Born in Switzerland on 26 June 1968. Of Italian origin, Yolanda Di Fede lives and works in Zurich. Self-taught. She has an artistic sense since childhood, also participating in painting competitions as a child. She paints intuitively and above all Design and the world of fashion has always inspired her a little. As a child, she painted dresses in different color combinations and it can be seen that, in her painting style, she has an excellent color management, often using any decorative elements. However, she graduates in economics and commerce and decided to leave painting forever to devote herself to a more "reasonable" path, according to the world around her, working in the commercial field for 30 years. Ten years ago, however, everything changed in her life. She starts all over again and resumes the passions that gave her satisfaction as a child and that she neglected for her career. In addition to sewing, embroidery and dancing, she resumed painting during the Covid in 2021. And it is then that her participation in various artistic and collective events in Switzerland begins.

Kate Mary Dream of Riviera, 2023 Oil pastel on paper Signed on Verso 10 x 15cm (3¾ x 5¾ in.) About Kate Mary (b.1992) is a Glasgow based artist and designer working predominantly with Oil Pastels and Acrylic. She completed her honours degree in Interior Design at Glasgow School of Art, graduating in 2019. Kate's practice is largely 2D drawings and paintings. These are detailed, idealised representations of places; collaged together to form immersive and calming visions of escapism. They are influenced by memories of local and far-flung journeys she makes, and the architecture, light, and pattern within them. Kate's work explores and responds to our built environment, capturing moments of intrigue in order to create intimate and otherworldly scenes.

* PETER HOWSON OBE (SCOTTISH b. 1958), JESUS pastel on paper, signedmounted, framed and under glassimage size 30cm x 23cm, overall size 59cm x 52cm Note: Collectors and Howson enthusiasts will be excited by the major retrospective “When the Apple Ripens: Peter Howson at 65" of the work of the artist taking place at the City Arts Centre, Edinburgh and organised by Museums & Galleries Edinburgh from May this year until the beginning of October, bringing together over 100 major works from his early years until the present time. Initial visitor numbers suggest that this exhibition is likely to set new records for a living artist in Scotland. The staging of this exhibition during (and beyond) the Edinburgh International Festival reflects the well documented and longstanding international interest in Peter Howson's work.

* PAT DOUTHWAITE (SCOTTISH 1939 - 2002), UNTITLED pastel on papermounted, framed and under glassimage size 75cm x 54cm, overall size 97cm x 77cmProvenance: The Corrymella Scott Gallery.Note: "She should no longer be seen as an exotic maverick but acknowledged as one of the true originals of Scottish art." A concluding comment on Pat Douthwaite’s 1993 solo exhibition, made by The Scotsman’s art critic Edward Gage. The ‘maverick’ label is often attached to Douthwaite to encompass a variety of the artist’s more striking traits: her troubled personality, the restless, nomadic lifestyle that took her across the world in search of subjects and meaning and her complete disregard for anything that did not further the development of her artwork, despite it making her a difficult figure to manage and work with. A good example is an incident in which she broke into a house and stole back one of her paintings from a buyer whom she did not consider worthy of owning her work. This demanding, uncompromising commitment and all-encompassing focus on her work paid off. She developed and sustained a distinctive, signature style characterised by raw feeling and idiosyncratic lines. Douthwaite was fascinated by historical heroines including Greek deities, Mary Queen of Scots and the aviator Amy Johnson and often depicted them as well as herself. Her images of women remain the most powerful and popular of her works, truly encapsulating the pain and suffering women can experience and endure. This exploration of suffering means there is a violence in the work, yet Douthwaite often manages to retain fun, playful touches in their execution. Born in Glasgow in 1934, Douthwaite’s first exposure to creative expression was in the form of dance classes at the dancing school run by Margaret Morris, the bohemian partner of the Scottish Colourist John Duncan Fergusson. She eventually discontinued dancing and decided, aged twenty-four and with no artistic training, to become a painter. Douthwaite showed her work to Fergusson, who recognised her talent and encouraged her endeavours, though he suggested she avoid art school, as he had done. Thus, both Morris and Fergusson had a major impact on Douthwaite’s creative endeavours. Douthwaite’s ever-present wanderlust quickly took over and she left Glasgow to join an artistic community within William Crozier’s house in East Anglia. An informal artistic training in itself, she was surrounded by fellow artists including Robert Colquhoun, Robert MacBryde and Crozier himself. In her lifetime, her work was recognised and championed by key figures in the Scottish art world; including Richard Demarco, who mounted her first major exhibition in Scotland in 1967; Douglas Hall, the former Director of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art and the artist and critic Edward Gage. Following her death, her popularity continues to increase as ever more collectors are drawn to her distinctive, expressive style and tales of her mysterious, maverick personality. The prestigious Scottish Gallery (Edinburgh) have long promoted Pat Douthwaite's work and her most recent solo show "Pat Douthwaite, On The Edge" was staged by the gallery between 4th and 27th February 2021.

* PAUL LUCIEN MAZE (ANGLO-FRENCH 1887 - 1979), THE FRENCH GARDEN pastel on paper, singedmounted, framed and under glass image size 26cm x 35cm, overall size 50cm x 60cm Note: Paul Lucien Maze was an Anglo-French painter. He is often known as “The last of the Post Impressionists" and was one of the great artists of his generation. His mediums included oil and watercolour although he was especially acclaimed for his pastels. Maze’s paintings include French maritime scenes, busy New York City scenes and the English countryside as well as Still Life. During the First World War, Maze met Winston Churchill in the trenches and their shared love of painting led to a lifelong friendship. Maze became Churchill's artistic mentor, encouraging him to develop his drawing and painting techniques.

* ALISON MCGILL (SCOTTISH b. 1974), FADING LIGHT pastel on paper, initialled, titled and dated 2015 labels versomounted, framed and under glassimage size 17cm x 22cm, overall size 34cm x 39cm Artist's label verso. Label verso: The Scottish Gallery, Edinburgh.Note: Alison McGill lives and works in Edinburgh and has been a practicing artist since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art in 1998. Her central subject is the Scottish landscape and shores, which she creates in her distinctive abstract style. As a student, under the tutelage of Victoria Crowe, Alison first experimented in mixing wax and paint to create heavily impastoed textures and painterly surfaces. The mastery of technique in allowing the wax to flow and evolve has been honed and developed over years of practice; excavating and melting the layers of the painting to reveal multiple layers of melded colours, to capture earth contours, rock strata and impressions of the land in its elemental state. In the hands of Alison McGill the landscape moves from real, observed locations to lyrical abstraction. Alison is represented by The Scottish Gallery (Edinburgh).
