EXHIBITING ARTISTS

Ruth Addinall grew up in North Yorkshire, moving to Edinburgh to study French in 1980 where she has lived since.  Her studies included a course in Art History,which stimulated a nascent interest and she has gradually built up her practice over the years.  She currently paints, sculpts and teaches the piano.

Susan has been a fulltime artist since graduating from Edinburgh Art College in 1991.

Drawing inspiration from her farming background, her works have been widely distributed at home and abroad and have won her several awards.

Having painted watercolour depictions of farm animals in the landscape and characterful etchings of wild birds and animals Susan is now on a new path.

Studying at Leith College of Art for 2 years to enhance her painting technique she is showing for the first time the result of these studies in this exhibition.  Her landscape paintings of her surroundings, in and around the Borders town of Peebles, produce an ethereal and mystical quality using oils and sometimes overlaid with printing techniques.
