Birch Tree Gallery welcomes Eleanor Cunningham with the exhibition 'Windswept Land' - a joint exhibition a returning artist Janine Baldwin. You can see Eleanor's paintings that will be in this exhibition on the gallery website: birchtreegallery.co.uk/artists/eleanor-cunningham

Eleanor's work explores the human impact on the world around us and the marks left in traces over time. She paints in acrylic and incorporates hand painted collage papers – referencing her training in printed textiles. She studied textile design at the Scottish College of Textiles, graduating in 1999. She lives in Dunbar and is currently studying a Masters in Fine Art at Falmouth University.
