Pendle  Art  Studio

 Hugh Douglas Law

I was born in 1949 in Renfrew. I trained as a gardener in the Paisley Parks  and the Botanical Gardens Glasgow then  went into nursing at the Berwick upon Tweed Infirmary

I became a professional musician touring the Middle East. Here I found a new craft, that of sand sculpting.

On returning to Britain I was on Pebble Mill at One with Andy Craig. That was the start of Mr Sandman.

  I went back into care work, with terminally ill children and created sand sculptures at festivals for the trust

I became interested in painting starting with acrylics. I then turned to oil.

I like the challenge of landscape, seascapes, life study and illusion. I am still learning and hope to become an artist. 

My way of life now is painting and sharing my music  with others at sessions and festivals. I sand sculpt whenever I can and I enjoy kayaking during the summer.

 Eileen Hilary Law

I was born in Corbridge and graduated as a dentist at Dundee University in 1973. One of my interests has always been art and I learned many different techniques from  my mother who was a professional artist.

While I was working full time as a dentist I attended several different art evening classes and now that I have retired I am enjoying being able to spend my time in the studio painting.

I am very interested in water and reflections but I also love trees. At the moment I am exploring rust and producing a series of paintings trying to reproduce the colours and textures that rust has . I like the challenge of portraits and have completed several commissions.

 Together we have had exhibitions of our work in different locations and have been part of the Perthshire Open Studio tour and Fortingall Exhibition
