To my artist pals

This is something which is very important to me. One of our lovely friends is going through stressful times. Difficult times that far too many people experience.

I am really looking forward to contributing an original artwork to my friend and neighbour, Glenn Campbell’s, summer art exhibition and sale in North Berwick.

Glenn is putting together a collection of contemporary art in aid of “Brain Power” - a fund he has set up to help the charity, Brain Tumour Research establish a new research centre of excellence in Scotland.

This is personal for Glenn. He was diagnosed with incurable brain cancer last summer following a bike accident in which he broke ten ribs.

You can follow his story on Instagram

I want to help him raise as much as possible for this important cause and would like to encourage fellow artists to consider donating something too.

The Exhibition and Sale of Art is being held in St Andrew Blackadder Church, North Berwick 16/17 August 2024

It will have an emphasis on celebrating the work of artists from across East Lothian but we are more than happy to receive contributions from further afield.

Please let me know if you are interested in supporting this charity art sale.

Lots of love Lainey. Claire Gardner. ###x
