"I have two gorgeous prints by Jenny Smith-Mconie Prints, purchased during Spring Fling weekends. They are ‘The Sea’ and ‘Low Tide’ and I purchased them because they remind me of the beautiful place we live and how lucky we are to be so close to the sea. I’ve always found the sea therapeutic, watching the waves and listening to them roll into the shore. The prints remind me of that every day.

"I worked part time for Spring Fling for a couple of years from 2008, having the opportunity to meet some wonderful artists and make life-long friends. One of my favourite memories is taking the ‘West’ bus tour with my Nana. She had never attended Spring Fling before and loved seeing the incredible variety of artwork in the studios. We had a fabulous day visiting Kay Ribbens at Mochrum Park and Lisa Hooper- Hoopoe Prints in Port William among others in Newton Stewart, Stranraer and Port Patrick and we often talked about that lovely day out together."

Thanks so much for sharing, Anne!
