Local talent will also be on display by way of up-and-coming young Edinburgh artist Ele Alba Erskine (23) who revealed her art is based on her devastating experience of being diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of nine, Henry Kondracki (61) born, bred and based in Edinburgh, the city features prominently in Henry’s work, often bringing a fresh perspective to familiar scenes and Damian Callan(54), born in London but trained in Edinburgh and returned to Tutor at the Leith School of Art and The National Galleries of Scotland.
