Amongst the Trees<\/h2>\n

It’s a beautiful June morning on the edge of Summer: My Art life is busy but as the bees hum and the grasses grow long around Birchtree Studio this morning \u00a0its hard to see what the rush is!<\/p>\n

\"\"I’m delighted to invite you to ‘Amongst the Trees’ at the Scottish Gallery<\/a> where I will be launching a new suite of tree mono-prints amongst a veritable forest of excellent artists’ works exploring this infinitely fascinating \u00a0subject. I am especially excited to be exhibiting with my friend Andrea Geile whose magnificent corton steel sculptures will feature centre stage. This show is on all the way until July 27th<\/p>\n

I will also be showing a two works\u00a0in London \u00a0in ‘Beyond the Clouds’<\/p>\n

Kate Downie Interactive Invitation<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is one of my \u00a0new mono-prints, ‘The Glow Tree’ created on my Hawthorn Press at Birchtree Studio, featuring an ash, a maple and a Cherry tree. Thats a lot of trees in one sentence!<\/p>\n

ArtMovesFife<\/h2>\n

\"\"What can I say about <\/span>ArtMovesFife<\/a> but that (so far) its a wonderful pilot project covering 6 months, funded by Creative Scotland which is pulling together an amazing number of diverse Fife-based artists \u00a0in conversation about our climate crisis through \u00a0slow journeys and art actions\/workshops along the way.. Want to join in, go on the mailing list, be a community participant ? Please explore the website and sign up! Or just enjoy the journeys by reading our blog.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Yesterday we completed ArtMove journey 2A with ten artists, – a combination \u00a0of train journey ( the maiden voyage from Kirkcaldy to Leven re-opened branch line – direct line Edinburgh to Levenmouth Bay!) and walking\/paddling the coastal path to Lower Largo.<\/p>\n

Here we are picnicking in the sublime walled garden of Silverburn Park,<\/a> soon to be adjacent to a community \u00a0artists & makers community by 2026, already a hub of community activity in nature.<\/p>\n

Dead or Alive (Conversations with Joan)<\/h2>\n

\"\"This painting was co-created with \u00a0the input of 11 local children, was inspired by\/ is a follow on from \u00a0my earlier painting project Four Children 1962-2022, after Joan Eardley.<\/span><\/h2>\n

It can currently be seen in the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh until June 16th, along \u00a0with 10 galleries full of great work by living artists from Scotland.<\/p>\n

However, if you miss it, you’ll be able to catch it as the centrepiece of my forthcoming show at Glasgow Woman’s Library from September 2024-January 2025-<\/p>\n

Much more about this in my next newsletter.<\/p>\n

Have a wonderful summer!<\/p>\n
