ABOUT THE EXHIBITION:
Surface is an exhibition celebrating the rich detail, texture and pattern found in natural habitats. Exploring nature reserves and wild landscapes across Dumfries and Galloway, from peatland and heathland to forest and coastland, Catherine Coulson takes a closer look at the landscape from within the reserves, observing the elements which make up the unique aesthetic and character of each ecosystem, sketching, writing, photographing and collecting material for studio paintings. With time and throughout the seasons, a closeness and narrative of place is built up, her work seeks to capture the emotional quality such places generate in us, concentrating on colour and surface detail, creating paintings that look beyond visual representation to describe a closer experience.

Dear Catherine Coulson,
I have found your website via the Harbour Cottage Gallery and am deeply fascinated by all of your art (painting, photography) and poetry work!!! I absolutely love it!!!
Fascinated of Kirkcudbright since my early childhood (now 59 ys), I deeply appreciate your paintings and, as I must say, I so much love your poetry; are you still (as I absolutely hope!) writing poems!? They are so wonderful to me!
Myself, I am a watercolour artist (landscapes, portraits, my garden, birds) and also a textile artist (embroidery, sewing birds) in Münster, Germany.
Now I’ve become a ‘friend’ and admirer of your art works for ever – your works make me deeply happy!!!
With gratitude and admiration,
yours sincerely,
Matthias
