Catch the Wind is our latest exhibition showcasing local artwork, on display in the Cafe Gallery.
The artist, Margaret Fenton is a painter in North Uist:
“Painting, for me, is exploring what you see, what you feel and what you cannot name. It is a creative adventure capturing the energy of the place and a sense of where you are within that space.
“My latest series of work ‘Catch the Wind’ reflects my response to Locheport in the Autumn and Winter 2025-26, where I have lived and worked for many years. The walk between my house and the studio through the garden out into the expansive fields of the croft inspires the initial idea. The process of drawing outside, experimenting with collage and building up layers of paint constantly responding to the surface of the painting to capture that sense of place.”
Catch the Wind is free to view in the Cafe Gallery from 4th April – 30th May 2026, Monday to Saturday, 10am-4pm. If you would like to support our continued programming and enable us to keep offering free events, please consider making a donation to Taigh Chearsabhagh.
