Kirkwall exhibition opens

A Hoy-based artist launches an exhibition of her work in Kirkwall today, Saturday.

Chloe Jowett moved to the county around 16 years ago, and her work is heavily influenced by Orkney.

She said: “My work is made up of mainly watercolours in a marginally abstracted way — not a conventional view of the place but a fundamental view of the landscape.”

“I am particularly interested in the components of the Orkney landscape — rocks, stones, the sea and sky.”

The exhibition is in the For Arts Sake Gallery, located in Kirkwall’s Bridge Street.
