A COLLECTIVE of five women artists from Ayrshire and Inverclyde is set to bring a wave of colour and creative inspiration to Largs.
Running from Wednesday 11th to Saturday November 21, the Changing Perspectives exhibition at Studio 44 Art Gallery will celebrate diverse artistic voices, individual journeys, and a shared passion for the Scottish landscape.
The exhibition brings together an impressive group of creators, each bringing a unique medium and personal style to the gallery walls:
Jackie Gillespie draws inspiration from quiet moments in nature, capturing the subtle light and shifting colors of ordinary hedgerows and seasonal produce.
Morven Howell, a finalist in the SAA 2026 Artist of the Year competition, layers mixed media, oils, acrylics, and pastels over collaged surfaces to explore the physical and emotional essence of the place.
Caroline Dyet, an Irvine-based artist, uses vibrant gouache and soft pastels to paint textured scenes inspired by Scotland’s coastlines and countryside.
Janet Jamieson, a photographer and printmaker, weaves hand-created textures and overlays into her mixed-media works to celebrate everything from the mountains to the sea.

Lesley Herd, a Kilmarnock-based mixed media artist, translates her love of wild swimming and local waters into abstract artworks rich with intuitive mark-making and gelli-plate textures.
Together, the group aims to offer visitors a chance to pause, reflect, and view familiar landscapes through fresh eyes. Original paintings, fine art prints, and handcrafted artisan gifts will all be available to purchase throughout the 11-day run.
An official exhibition launch will take place on Saturday, November 14 from 1pm until 4pm, when members of the public are being invited to visit the gallery, meet some of the artists and explore the work on display.
Studio 44 said the launch will also feature celebratory drinks and nibbles and stressed that everyone is welcome to attend.

The exhibition artwork featured on the gallery's promotional material ranges from colourful landscape-inspired pieces to more abstract works and studies drawing on woodland and natural forms.
Organisers said: "Join us as we celebrate the launch of our new exhibition, Changing Perspectives."
"We'd love for you to come along, enjoy some celebratory drinks and nibbles, and help us mark the occasion."
