Jane Gardiner is a Glasgow based artist who was inspired to be creative by the beaches of Ayrshire, and the environment of the Orkney and Shetland Isles. Her chosen subject is the human face.

We liked the combination of bright red colour and simplicity of this playful watercolour portrait.

Originated in Poland, this project is calling for your smiles. The idea is that people from all over the world submit their “autograph” in the form of an image of their smile, the smiles will then be exhibited in Children’s hospitals globally.

Victoria Evans

This is a drawing challenge and social networking project created by Visual Artist Victoria Evans. The result iss an evolving, month-long, participatory online gallery which encourages everyone, artists and non-artists alike, to see what might happen if they made time to draw every day for a month.
