My Beautiful Scotland

Blurred Perceptions

Shona Perkins & Fee Dickson Reid

Shona Perkins is an acclaimed photographer who has shot to prominence over the last 5 years on the international ICM scene; Fee Dickson Reid is an award winning artist who creates large scale, atmospheric seascapes in oils. For 18 months they have been collaborating through conversation, running creative retreats together, learning from each others skills and leaning in to each others vision. This exhibition is the first chance to see how their work blurs the line between photography and painting, between vision and reality, between muse and creator, teacher and student. Itʼs about two women using two different mediums to create a singular enchanting perception of the world, inspired by each other and the sea.

Creative Expression

Meaningful exploration of artistic expression, combining creative photography with contemporary art.

Creative Connections

Shona and Fee are passionate about their art and together they bring a wealth of knowledge and experience within their field. They met through their shared love for Scottish seascapes and whilst their work is across 2 very different mediums, both draw similarities in expression, evoking emotion and creating a sense of calm.

The affiliation between art and photography has been apparent for centuries. Many artists and fine art photographers seek inspiration from both mediums. Both photography and painting use the same fundamental elements such as light, space, colour, line, texture and more.

Both Shona and Fee share a special connection, having a great influence whilst drawing inspiration from each others work

Creative Vision

Blurring the lines between photography and painting Shona & Fee share their vision of the world, their inspiration, their need for solitude to create and how they translate that through their art.

This beautiful creative collaboration offers you an insight into this very special connection between two women, photographer and painter.

Two women who express a similar joy of solitude in their work, but its a solitude they have allowed one another to share which is what makes this so special.
