Welcome

Lys Hansen, Honorary Chair FVAB ART BEAT

SOUND THE DRUMS !!!!!!!

It is splendid to greet the sun after a long winter and to enjoy preparing for the adventure of Art Beat which is very close to heart beat and close to my heart and to the joy of art and the opportunity to visit artists and makers in their open studios. This makes a wonderful contribution to the community at large and I know it reaches out to a lot of people who want to be part of this experience and to share it with friends and family. In the Falkirk area Margory Sime has gathered some local artists together and you can see their art work at the Howgate Centre. This will be in support of Strathcarron Hospice. At the Forth Valley Royal Hospital Fiona McGurk and Emma Reid will have an interactive event in order to engage with the visitors, the results of which will be exhibited there. In Stirling at The Tolbooth June Carey shows her work, June is a master of pastel technique and of etching, so go along and see how she does it! Also in Stirling, the Cowane Centre is hosting Theatre Broad who will perform a play with a difference. And don’t miss a visit to Stirling University’s Art Collection. The Alloa area is a hive of activity all year round and you can catch their artistic vitality at the Marcelle House Studios. There is always a big welcome there and lots of talent. Well, I would say, for a visitor, you are spoilt for choice!!!!! I wish everyone a wonderful Art Beat!!! You will be exhausted, but then you are worth it.

Lys Hansen + Avril Nicol

Avril Nicol, Project Co-ordinator FVAB Building on the fantastic success of Forth Valley Open Studios over the past six years we are now expanding: We have added new features to the event and rebranded for 2016 but the ethos of the event and open nature will ﬁrmly remain. Forth Valley Art Beat is showcasing the work of established and emerging artists, designers, makers, art clubs, galleries and organizations. By bringing together these participants the event will deliver a mixture of visual art from open studios, installations, popup shows, performance art and exhibitions in galleries and community spaces throughout the Forth Valley area. I would like to thank all of the artists, visitors and supporters of the event. Your continued participation and support is fundamental to the success of the event. Here’s to another exciting and successful event.

A delightful multi arts performance piece, combining drama, visual art, and music. The play is set in 1930s Scotland and tells the story of Rosemary, who a week before her wedding is having her likeness drawn in charcoal by Joan.

Site specific installations at the Forth Valley Royal Hospital Emma Reid Be part of the artwork – handholding

Stirling Road, Larbert Venue 53 | Green route

Fiona McGurk 59 Grasps: It’s ok; I’ll not let you go (2016)

Join artist Emma Reid in the Atrium of Forth Valley Royal Hospital to take part in this project for Forth Valley Art Beat.

Edinburgh College of Art graduate Fiona McGurk will be collecting the grasp shape of 59 health professionals to create a site-sensitive, mixed media installation. Each grasp sculpture (a negative-space form) will represent collectively, a symbol of care, dignity, strength, and support.

During two days in May Emma will be meeting staff, patients, and visitors in Forth Valley Royal Hospital and inviting them to become part of this new, site-speciﬁc installation. Visit anytime between 11am and 6pm on Wednesday 18 May or Thursday 19 May to take an alginate cast of the shape made inside our hands while we hold hands. This simple yet unfamiliar act asks two strangers to make contact and share stillness. The whole process will take around 5 minutes – but you are welcome to stay longer if you are enjoying the conversation!

The work is inspired by Fiona’s personal experience of Forth Valley Royal Hospital and will be exhibited there in the hospital atrium throughout the summer.

Emma will then take these alginate forms back to her studio to cast them into plaster. The collection of plaster casts will be installed in Forth Valley Royal Hospital in June, each one individual and a direct representation of the contact made. 5

Please see the website for more information and details of free art sessions throughout the week.

Painting mostly land and seascapes in oils I try to portray my work to show the natural beauty and character of Scotland’s wild places. My favourite subjects are from the north and west coast, especially the Outer Hebrides. I also have some more local works. On occasion I diversify from my usual style with some more contemporary works with varying degrees of success.

As a child I grew up in Botswana and would collect lizards, chameleons, crickets, tortoises etc and bring them into my garden. My childhood informs my work as well as my love of the natural world that surrounds me in my Scottish home. I often paint, draw or make hybrid pieces, the combination of human and animal attributes, creating a metaphor for our need to belong to the natural world.

Directions: Blaeberry River Studio is situated just past Tesco’s on the right on the A820 Doune Road in Dunblane. Alternatively it is a ﬁve minute walk from the train station over the old railway bridge.

Directions: From A820 Doune Rd turn on to Old Doune Rd. opposite Tesco store. Take 1st left on to George St. Take 1st right at shop. Then after 20yds turn left into small lane. Then 60yds to Studio No12.

Directions: Come into Dunblane. After Tescos, turn left and go all the way up The Old Doune Road until you come to a small roundabout. Turn left at Braemar Avenue. My house is the yellow house on the left.

Fiona McKenzie van Baardwijk creates drawings and paintings of the natural world in addition to teaching through Blaeberry River Art. Using pastels, acrylic or oil Fiona records Scotland’s landscape from a different perspective.

The Hut is a diverse but connected collection of work by Jacqui Park Design, Marion Douglas Art and Hoots Wood. Jacqui Park creates unique nautical Beachcrafts/Interior Accessories made from natural materials beachcombed from Scottish beaches. Marion Douglas paints an eclectic mix of Scottish land and seascapes in acrylic. Hoots Wood creates a range of individually designed pieces from upcycled wood and other materials.

The theme this year is marvellous from mundane. Come and make waste into wonderful! We welcome you: to see demonstrations of weaving, spinning and dyeing; to walk in a medicinal and dyers herb garden : to try out some basic craft techniques – basic paper making, rag rug making, hat making, dyeing with lichen and more. We offer hand woven and hand spun items for sale along with refreshments.

As a former journalist and graduate of Glasgow School of Art (2001) Environmental, I am interested in working with people and pushing the boundaries of “what is art?“

Tanya Gomez is the featured ceramist at &Collective during Forth Valley Art Beat. Working in porcelain, Tanya uses a range of approaches in throwing to create forms that will capture qualities of ﬂuidity, movement and provide a sense of space. It is through a process of energetic making and rigorous selection she has learnt to observe how the clay works and ﬁnd new ways to go forward. The throwing is dynamic and cutting and assembling make the forms.

Alan Chapman is an Edinburghbased painter and printmaker who trained at Teesside College of Art and Sunderland College of Art, graduating with BA (Hons) Fine Art in 1980. This current exhibition at &Collective combines painting, collage and printmaking techniques to produce sheets of pure colour.

Directions: & Collective sits in the center of the main shopping street in Bridge of Allan, Henderson Street which is also BofA’s main thoroughfare, the A9.

I work in pastel and pencil. A current passion is still life - I am particularly intrigued by the subtle effect of muted light in an interior space - but I am also constantly drawn back to landscape and to attempting to interpret the ever-changing light on clouds, land and water.

I studied ﬁne art at Glasgow School of Art as a mature student from 1988 1992. I now work mainly with 3D pieces using found objects and often my own handmade papers. All my works relate to the environment and ‘contain’ a walk. I have exhibited both nationally and internationally for several years and have also served as President of the Society of Scottish Artists.

Darren’s award-winning artwork reﬂects his travels near and far - from Antarctica to the Arctic; from the American Rockies to the Scottish Highlands. As an artist and naturalist his paintings often depict the wildlife he has encountered along the way so expect bears, whales, penguins and much, much more.

Directions: The West Moss-side Farm road is located 1/4 mile west of Thornhill village on the road to Aberfoyle (A873), directly after the de-restriction speed sign on the left. Turn left, then follow the road to the right for a full mile until the road end.

Repeating patterns in the natural world fascinate me; the striking similarities of human skin under an electron microscope and the skeleton of leaves; tidal ripple patterns and the grain of oak. The lithe shapes of hares, seals and birds also capture my attention.

This is a working pottery established in Buchlyvie in 1989. Alison produces no less than 5 ranges of tableware plus one-off sculptural ceramics and quirky giftware in porcelain or crank. The pottery is hand painted or carved and produced on the premises making each piece truly unique.

Silversmithing has become one of my life’s great escapes and pleasure as designing absorbs all my senses and tests all my skills.

A variety of techniques is used in production ie; slip casting, press moulding, hand building and modelling.

Directions: 15 due west of Stirling on the A811. The Pottery and Coffee Shop is on the left in the middle of the village. From Glasgow take the A81 towards Aberfoyle for 16 miles then turn right onto the A81, 4 miles to Buchlyvie, the Pottery is on the right.

Studio Theatre, Cowane Centre, Cowane Street, Stirling FK8 1JP Mob: 07759 687242 Email: theatrebroad@mypostofﬁ ce.co.uk Web: www.theatrebroad.co.uk

My work is abstract and has a decorative form. I work mainly from a sketch book through which larger and more complex pictures develop. I use thinned down acrylic or watercolour on canvas or paper. In my Open Studio I will make a broad range of work available, including painting, collage and minimalist drawing. Visitors may also view my attic storeroom containing older works and sketchbooks.

Prelude and Fugue is a delightful multi arts performance piece, combining drama, visual art, and music. The play is set in 1930s Scotland and tells the story of Rosemary, who a week before her wedding is having her likeness drawn in charcoal by Joan. As Joan sketches, the two women talk and discover a dark secret shared by both of them. The music drives and reﬂects the action of the piece.

Directions: My studio can be reached via Upper Bridge Street and St Mary’s Wynd. Kingstables Lane by foot runs from the right of John Cowan’s House on St Mary’s Wynd to Upper Castle Hill. Vehicle access via Barn Rd and Castle Court.

Directions: The Cowane Centre is situated on Cowane Street, Stirling, FK8 1JP. From the city centre, follow Cowane Street along to the end, and the Cowane Centre is on the left. There is a car park and good street parking roundabout. Times of performances detailed below.

For FVAB I will be making new sitespeciﬁc sculptural work in FVRH. This project is informed by the caregiving work of the hospital and the large number of staff, patients, and visitors who enter this space each day. For two days in May I will invite these people to become a part of the work by meeting with me to take an alginate cast of the shape made inside our hands while we hold hands. A collection of plaster casts will be then be made and installed in FVRH in June, each one individual and a direct representation of the contact made. You can ﬁnd me in the Atrium of FVRH on: Wednesday 18 May (11am - 6pm) Thursday 19 May (11am - 6pm) 33

59 Grasps: It’s ok; I’ll not let you go (2016) Ideas concerning accumulation, connection and context inform Fiona’s work. Within a wide framework of approaches, painting and drawing continue to underpin her research and creative practice and the making of three-dimensional objects has become increasingly important. Collecting the grasp shape of 59 health professionals, Fiona will create a site-sensitive, mixed media installation. Each grasp sculpture, a negative-space form, collectively a symbol of care, dignity, strength, and support. Directions: FVRH is located on Stirling Road, enter the hospital though the main entrance, walk a short distance to the atrium and view the exhibition.

Welcome to a new venue and an exciting joint venture by Teresa Majorek and Mary Dove. Inspiring new works will be featured. You will be able to see the artists working on their current art pieces. The style and media of both artists are very different, varying from paintings, mixed media, textiles, 3D to printmaking. The unique, diverse range of art offers visitors an exciting, visual experience.

Lesley Anne Derks graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 1999. She is now an established artist working from her studio in Larbert. She paints predominantly cityscapes and has exhibited extensively throughout the UK and abroad. Her work has appeared in leading magazines and newspaper articles. As well as originals a selection of giclee prints will also be available.

Alex Curtis is terrible at art but makes a mean coffee. You will sit on pallet furniture, listen to an eclectic mix of music, enjoy some temporary conceptual art (who knows - there might be nothing - it will change over the two weekends) and be served fantastic coffee made with the world famous water from the Loch Carron reservoir. All proceeds to the MS Society.

The Old Co-Op Studios 165-169 High Street, Falkirk FK1 1DU

I work mainly in ceramics. From delicate embossed pieces, often framed & personalised, or shaped into bowls - to exotic colourful butterﬂies quirkily escaping from their frames. Elegant ceramic bunting to magical ‘dream pockets’, heart sconces, with an edge! Pop in for a chat, share some bubbles and see what I’m currently working on - I’d love to meet you!

Elaine Petrie is based in Falkirk. She works mainly in silver and semi-precious stones and has trained in Scotland, Cornwall and Milan. She applies contemporary design principles to organic shapes and textures. Many of her pieces are inspired by the nearby Antonine Wall and the surrounding landscape. Elaine makes themed collections and one-off pieces and is happy to discuss commissions.

I have to be honest about the origins of my creativity and artistic output. I am bipolar. I am disabled but without my illness I would not be the person I am today – an artist. I’m happy to discuss the creative process attached to my art and would welcome any response to it. All in in all it is a very colourful and emotive collection. One of my beliefs is that anyone can paint. I hope you enjoy the show.

Directions: From Falkirk town centre, follow B803 towards High Station area. Turn right at trafﬁc lights onto Slamannan Rd. Continue to roundabout, then onto Lochgreen Rd, take 2nd right onto Skythorn Way, left onto Craighorn Dr, and 2nd right is Thomson Crescent.

Directions: From Falkirk High Station: cross car park, turn right down Drossie Road to Major’s Loan. From town centre: Follow signs for community hospital (Major’s Loan entrance) then continue up hill to last house on left at junction with Gartcows Road.

Born in Falkirk, Scotland. I worked for the family business as a foreman joiner before picking up a camera and studying photography at the Glasgow Metropolitan College. This selection of portraits are of normal everyday people and their splendid red hair. Redheads constitute approximately 4 percent of the European population. Scotland has the highest proportion of redheads.

The image is a story, a series of interactions between mysterious places and mechanisms. Traditional materials provide an entry point for viewing and provide engagement between the viewer and artwork. Meaning can be derived from exploring the chaos and asking open or speciﬁc questions, whether there are distinct answers is beyond my reckoning. I may be trying to document an alternate history or imagined world that is familiar but often not ours.

Directions: From West & M876: Follow Camelon Rd to town centre, drive into West Bridge Street taking the right hand lane. Follow signs to Howgate. From East go past Lidl, right in Cochrane Street. Straight and turn right at mini roundabout into Cockburn entrance is on roundabout on right.

My creative inspiration comes from nature and my environment combined with local history. Using clay, coloured slips and oxides to convey landscapes, animals and sections of our surroundings we sometimes pass by. Incorporating found and recycled pieces of wood, often including plant materials such as leaves, grasses and seed heads into the wet clay, combined with textured clay.

Cath creates atmospheric Scottish landscape digital collages featuring the wide open spaces, vast grey skies and low light of the Scottish West Coast and the Hebrides. Through her work she tries to capture the solitude and calm of these special places. For more about her work and technique please see the website.
