About the Artist

Ben Southern trained in the early sixties at Burnley School of Art, then at Leeds School of Art. He taught for 30 years in several different schools then worked at St Martin’s College for ten years. He exhibited his work in Yorkshire and Lancashire before retiring to Fortrose on the Black Isle.

“After working almost exclusively in watercolour or acrylic, I am now enjoying the painterly properties of gouache. The Black Isle provides me with endless subject matter in all seasons and weather”

What Else?

Alongside the main exhibition the gallery will show the work of many other artists in a wide variety of media, and new items are always arriving, including a wide range of greetings cards – the latest ones are images by Moy McKay, and new designs from Suzanne Gyseman.
