Glimro marks the first solo exhibition by Orcadian painter Laura Drever with The Gallery. Based in Kirkwall, Drever was born in Orkney and studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 2003 with First Class Honours. Her work is rooted in sustained walking and close observation of the landscape, with paintings developed through memory rather than direct representation.

About Laura Drever
Laura Drever is an Orcadian artist whose work arises from a profound engagement with her native landscape, experienced through the act of walking, looking and remembering. Born in Kirkwall, she studied Drawing and Painting at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 2003 with First Class Honours. For more than two decades, she has explored Orkney’s shifting light, hills, and coastline, developing an intimate understanding of the islands’ rhythms and their continually changing atmosphere. Her practice begins outdoors, where she spends long periods walking and observing the terrain, the movement of weather, colour and the flight of birds.
