We collect driftwood from the local area carefully selecting pieces with just the right visual qualities for our work. Coordinating various pieces of wood and adding in natural fabrics we then handcraft the materials into wall art and free standing sculptures.

Glennis Gibson - The Virtual Eye Gallery
Glennis Gibson currently resides in Aberdeenshire. Her portfolio comprises of the natural world, images collected from her world travels and, more recently, commercial projects for graphic and website designs. Shop at www.thevirtualeye.com.
In her work, she perceives the world around her as a canvas that can be painted with texture and light. The main criteria for her choice of subject is dictated by the time of day. Her inspiration comes from the times of dawn and dusk, when the light is cleanest, but also ever changing as the day waxes and wanes. [View Gallery]
