Barbara is fascinated with the female face, she researches, photographs and studies her sitter for hours, she goes to her studio and over six to eight hours and paints her subject with vibrancy and passion. Barbara adores oils and layers her paintings with gooey paint. Her mark making is gestural and painterly, her colour palette is unique.

GORGEOUS is on at The Rebecca Hossack Gallery from Thursday May 3 until Saturday 26 May 2018.

Author of the Week: Bonnie MacBird, Unquiet Spirits with Donna Freed

The second of Bonnie MacBird's faithful, full length Sherlock Holmes novels is infused with the ghostly presences of the past history of the MacLaren whiskey family and Sherlock himself. The explosive adventure travels through London, the Cote d'Azur and the Highlands. Bonnie brings all her creative zeal to whatever she does: she is a Hollywood screenwriter (Tron), won 3 Emmys for her documentaries, has been an actor, etc.; she has lovingly immersed herself in the period (and yes, she has a flat in Baker Street!). The fruits of her labours and all the historical annotations can be found on her website.
