We wouldn’t be a hub for the community if we didn’t shine a light on some of the amazing work by the locals. That’s why we’ve partnered with Paisley/Renfrewshire based artists to create The Charity Hub Art Collective. As well as transforming the space into something beautiful, the artists have all very kindly agreed to donate 30% of sales back to Finding Your Feet. Have a look at our art gallery page to see some of the amazing pieces. You’ll also find bios on some of the featured artists below, and information on any upcoming Open Days or Exhibitions.

Margaret Tomlinson

Margaret’s work is influenced by everyday life. Her style and ideas change almost daily and subjects are varied with a focus on detail. She enjoy using nature to paint on, such as wood and rocks, making use of the environment around us. Margaret mainly draws in graphite and paints in acrylic.

Patricia Telfer

Phil Arbon

There is something about the ever changing lighting conditions, moods and colours of Scotland that inspires Phil. Even when the weather is dull there are often shafts of light from the sky creating luminous colours. All these things make him try to capture what he feels and then paint it with passion.

Sam Blue

Sam is a qualified art teacher. He has taught for a number of years in Renfrewshire schools. During the pandemic, Sam continued to paint and experimented with media after being inspired by woodland walks in the local area.
