INSPIRATION

Jean was captivated by the Isle of Skye some 37 years ago, driven from an early age by the challenge of the rock and lure of the mountains.

The exhilaration of the great outdoors, combined with Jean's passion for climbing and walking, particularly in the Cuillin, led to her moving to Glenbrittle shortly afterwards.

Whilst working at the Sligahan Hotel in mid 1970's to subsidise her passion for Skye, Jean discovered an artistic talent that was to combine both of her major interests (climbing and drawing) when she started to sell etchings of the places and landscapes that she found so inspirational. 

As a result of increasing demand for her work, Jean opened the Loch Harport Gallery in 1983 to showcase her own work, as well as that of selected artists with strong ties to Skye.
