Mari Dungey has become well known for her chicken paintings, capturing the wonderfully quirky, human-like expressions and attitudes of farmyard companions. As an animator and sculptor, Mari delights in capturing the aerial acrobatics and freedom of birds, particularly seabirds and their inland farm visitors, such as gulls and oystercatchers that seasonally follow the plough. Her work includes acrylics on canvas and clay sculptures, ranging from miniatures to large-scale canvases, all celebrating feathers and nature.

Iona Yampo is a vet who has turned her love of animals into bespoke felt figurines, lovingly created for owners of their beloved pets. She also enjoys capturing the natural beauty of the South Lanarkshire hills and Scottish landscapes through her oil, acrylic and watercolour paintings.
