Featured artist in October at Larks Gallery in Ballater is Kymme Fraser. Born in Edinburgh, Kymme studied in Aberdeen and worked in Glasgow before returning to Aberdeen to work and raise a family, later rekindling her love for art and painting, which finds expression in her contemporary, semi-abstract style, depicting Scottish landscapes and seascapes. She says, ‘I am always learning from and being inspired by others at courses and workshops delivered by the wealth of experienced and skilled artists in Scotland and beyond…’ and of her paintings she comments, ‘It is not fully abstract; you can just about make out what it is!’
