Jo Lee, Catriona Simpson and Mandy Thomson are Dunbar based artists who met through their love of sea swimming and have become great friends.

Jo works with wools and silks to create felt paintings that capture the wonder and beauty of the landscapes and wildlife around her.

Catriona predominantly works in oils, watercolour and pencil, inspired by her love of the sea and the dramatic coastlines of East Lothian.

Mandy works in oils and inks, focusing on the drama of the ever changing sea and sky, our connection with them and the emotions they bring.

Through their morning swims, these three women have encouraged each other in their art and dreamt about how they could collaborate and support one another.

This is their first time exhibiting together.
