Sally Mcdonald

A mixed media and collage artist, living in the village of Heaste on the Isle of Skye. Sally studied display design at Medway College of Design in Rochester, Kent. She worked as a display designer in large department stores in Kent until moving to Skye in 1988. Sally started working in mixed media/collage in 2015, inspired by the dramatic Highland landscape. Her work is an abstract interpretation of the colours and textures of the surrounding hills, sky and sea.

Alistair Young

Alistair is a photographer, also from the village of Heaste. He wanders the hills and mountains of the north west Highlands, documenting landscapes with photography and Gaelic poetry. Occasionally his bathroom doubles as a dark room for trips with the Bronica, reliving the moments as the prints emerge into the light.

Alistair’s photographs are a mixture of images in frames, assembled by himself with his own hand cut mounts as well as professionally printed images mounted on dibond, a robust aluminium mount that allows the images to float slightly off the wall.

As well as taking photographs, Alistair writes Gaelic poetry, particularly in the form of Haiku. He has produced The Little Book of Gaiku, hailed by the mainstream press as perhaps the world’s first collection of Gaelic Haiku!

Dawn Rose

Dawn Rose loves nature and photographs the beauty of the seemingly everyday by slowing down and really looking. Whether it’s a fabulous piece of textured bark or the light on a frozen loch, it’s all worth capturing.
