FOLDYARD are a pair of artists living and working together in Berwick upon Tweed. We have been artists for the last 30 years, but this is the first opportunity we have had to combine all the equipment, materials and skills 'in-house'.
As you can see from our work - we are not photo copiers
 

Dave Watson

Worked as a black and white landscape photographer until 2007. He turned to painting to explore the use of colour, and an interpretation of landscape which is more emotional and abstract than realistic.

'Buzzards Wood, Ford, 24th June'.
Acrylic on canvas. 2010.

Don't run before you can walk. This Link shows the value and point of working on the spot and using sketchbooks. . .

'Norham Castle in Winter'. January 2011.
Aluminium drypoint.
Dave paints out in the landscape all year round. Continuing to work at home from sketchbooks. Morag uses the process of printing itself, which can have a lot to do with serendipity, and her technical knowledge in the production of her work.

Morag Eaton

An experienced and established etcher, she is exploring new methods of non-toxic printmaking - printing without the use of acids or solvents.
Her work is concerned with narrative, symbolism, metaphor. religious iconography and personally witnessed events. Often working in series which have more than a whiff of morality about them.
