"This painting exposes the fraught closeness of twinhood, where blurred boundaries create both emotional strain and lifelong comedy."

📸 Clowns by Emma Neill | oil on board, 54cm x 43cm, £900

Emma Neill is a fraternal twin who works primarily in oils, she lives in Fife and studied Fine Art at DJCAD. She is inspired by symbolic pairing and the ideas of duality, subtly reinforcing the connection with her twin is something she carries with her at all times and not just when they are together. She has this commonality with other twins, as she understands the powerful and unique bond built through sharing lifelong experiences that others may not fully understand. Exploring the connection between two figures within her paintings allows the viewer to relate to her work through their own relationships. She often includes symbols or imagery that only her twin would recognise, this creates intimate, emotionally charged pieces. A lot of her work embeds symbolic imagery becoming a visual metaphor for the invisible connection between twins and how two different people can echo each other’s emotions, identity, and destiny.

"It questions who we consider worthy of celebration and honours the strength,
beauty, and sovereignty within us all."

📸 The Kingdom of Us. MJ. by Ruth Yee | oil on canvas 60x80cm £550

Ruth is originally from London but now is based in Edinburgh, she works in oil and is in her final year at The Leith School of Art. Her paintings explore human connection and celebrating the ordinary. Her practice is rooted in finding meaning in familiar moments and shared experiences that often go unnoticed. Working within a limited colour palette, the she creates a sense of harmony that allows the relationship between tightly rendered passages and looser, more expressive marks to become more pronounced. This balance between precision and spontaneity mirrors the way memories and emotions are experienced—some details remain vividly defined, while others dissolve into suggestion. Although each painting is a portrait of an individual each piece invites viewers to recognise something of themselves within the work. Her work encourages a moment of reflection, reminding us that the ordinary is often where our most meaningful experiences are found.

"Layered images depict moments of relaxation and fun combined with pockets of overwhelm. A response to calm competing with chaos."

📸 Everything is Everything, Pina Colada, and Video Games by Anna Mackenzie | oil on board 60cm x 120cm £500 each

Anna Mackenzie (born 1979, Liverpool) began her career as a footwear buyer before starting a family and having the opportunity to rediscover painting. On both the Figure and Painting courses at Leith School of Art she has developed her painting practice, creating large scale works drawing on themes of childhood experience, parenthood and neurodiversity.

📸 Penny by Fiona Livingstone | Oil on canvas 90cm x 90cm £500

Fiona Livingstone is an Aberdeen based artist whose works mainly with oil paint and more recently, coloured pencil. Her work takes inspiration from her own lived experience and considers how trauma can shape identity and emotional response. Her recent body of work has explored themes of power and control, considering how unhealthy power dynamics affect us as individuals and influence our perception of both ourselves and the world around us. She uses animals as a motif throughout her work as they act as representations of herself, further adding to the idea of powerlessness and lack of control. Strings are also used as symbolic imagery throughout her work, acting as subtle suggestions of interconnection between the powerful and the delicate. Additionally, she considers her artwork to be a form of feminist praxis, considering how the issues of power and control shape the lives and experiences of women.

📸 Peckham, Hungover by Rosie Boyce | Oil on board 30x40cm £350

Rosie Boyce is a multidisciplinary artist born and based in Glasgow. Working across painting and photography, with oil painting at the centre of her practice, she explores memory, intimacy, and the emotional resonance of everyday life. Using personal photographs as a place of departure rather than an endpoint, her paintings transform familiar images through colour, gesture, and material process. Existing between representation and abstraction, the works resist a fixed narrative, instead inviting viewers to inhabit the uncertainty between remembering and imagining. Grounded in personal experience yet open in meaning, Boyce’s practice reflects on the people, places, and fleeting moments that shape how memory is constructed, suggesting that the ordinary can carry profound emotional weight.

"The careful mark making creates winding circles which are used to explore identity. This is through the representation of the placement of moles across the skin. The process itself is meditative, which can be seen in the minimal approach to drawing."

📸 Bosie 3 + Surprise(d) | brown fine liner on paper 56x76cm £200 each

Emma Connah is an artist based in Aberdeen and recently graduated from Gray’s School of Art. Her work explores the minimal nature of drawings through exploring identity, with her special interest in moles across the skin. The simplicity of her drawings draws from the paper that she uses, where the paper itself enhances the drawing. Her current paper of interest is a handmade Khadi cotton paper; this texture of paper allows for the lines to be pushed further. The minimal approach to her process allows for the mind to relax as the repetitive circles create an ease of mind. While it becomes obsessive, not only is the work at peace but she is as well.

"Upstairs Downstairs is the result of a project focusing on memory of place. I am interested in how time can alter one’s perception of place in memory. Through a process of photographing and collaging, a fragmented space emerged, strange but familiar, a memory, which I then painted. "

📸 Upstairs Downstairs by Bene Vettese Cruden | oil on board 60x42cm £NFS

Bene's practice is rooted in a fondness for interior scenes and a fascination in the capturing of atmosphere and light. He draws and paints moments which feel subtly striking, where a soft sense of drama is present. These scenes sometimes include figures nestled in the environment of the home. His process involves drawing, photography, and occasionally collage which is used to distort the shape of the image. An important element in the practice is repetition, with pieces being drawn numerous times, sometimes in different ways, experimenting with colour, composition, and size. These processes usually lead to painting, where the experimentation of the preliminary work informs the finished pieces.

📸 Untitled by Olivia Runciman | acrylic on raw canvas 65x85cm £610

Olivia Runciman is an emerging artist, producer, and curator who is intrigued by mark making, materiality, and the boundaries of abstract painting. Heavily inspired by the abstract expressionist movement her work orbits around the changing qualities of colour, composition, gesture, and movement through works on silk, paper, and raw canvas. Her practice involves working in a loose, reactive way allowing unplanned and spontaneous marks to appear. Led by a concentrated focus on process and materiality, her exploration of painting and expanded painting poses the question ‘what is at the core of abstraction?’.

📸 Standing N**e Girl by Willa Baker Wilbraham | mixed media 69x102cm £1500

Willa Baker Wilbraham’s practice is self-referential, with her n**e body serving as the primary subject. It centres itself on themes of female auto-eroticism and is developed through both direct observation and photographic references. Willa is interested in how the female n**e body refigures itself when looked upon. Theoretically, she alludes to Feminist politics and aesthetics, oscillating between subject and observer and creating a persistent tension throughout the work that permeates into its visual language, existing between beauty and discomfort; the material dark, the form seductive. Willa plays with ways of dissolving the body: the appropriation of Cubist techniques and angular figuration becomes an act of resistance against the treatment of women’s bodies as mutable objects. Through this reimagination of perspective, distortion and fragmentation, Willa reflects on contemporary sentiments of visibility. She is also interested in how absence can function as a structuring presence, and in the interplay where meaning slips between revelation and concealment.

📸 Seille Flood by Lucie Doremus-Cook | oil on paper and wood 50x27cm £340

Lucie Doremus-Cook’s practice examines the liminal spaces between place, language, memory, and perception. Centred on the Möbius strip as a recurring conceptual motif, her work dissolves binaries such as inside and outside, subject and object, proposing instead a continuous, entangled experience of being. Working from remembered landscapes: fields, floodplains, and sand dunes associated with childhood - she uses writing as an integral part of her process, allowing language to mediate memory before it is translated into paint. Shaped by a bilingual upbringing, Lucie’s work considers displacement, mistranslation, and the fragility of communication, exploring the productive ambiguity that emerges when meaning begins to slip. Her materially driven practice embraces processes of concealment and revelation, with images surfacing through layered paint and intuitive mark-making. Reclaimed wood, paper, and inherited textiles extend the temporal resonance of the work, creating paintings that inhabit the thresholds between memory and landscape, presence and absence, permanence and dissolution.
