Heather Mackinlay, Watercolourist: www.heathermackinlay.com  Heather is a talented watercolourist with an international reputation.  Her work reflects her fascination with light in the landscape.  I have several of her images and my kids have already ear marked which ones they want .... not sure how to interpret that!  I hope it's because they have an eye for a talented painter.

 

Roger Day, Sculptor: www.rogerday.talktalk.net

Roger sculpts with chain saws.  He has a natural empathy for wood and his work is beautiful.    Every garden should have something that is sculpted by Roger.
