Don't forget to pop in our Community Gallery on your next visit to see the Cloud Collection exhibition from Fife artist, Jane McCurley Howie. Jane works in mixed media using gel pens to create a vibrant metallic look and uses different colours that blend so well together. Jane works in a free and unrestrained style allowing patterns and shapes to organically appear in her images. Her abstract creations invite viewers to interpret it in their own way.
The exhibition runs until 25th February, entry is free.
