Ailsa Tanner was a talented artist and much loved local personality.
She, together with Gregor Ian Smith, were key to the formation of the Anderson Trust when it was established in 1980 by William F.T. Anderson, nephew of the donor, Annie Templeton Anderson.
Ailsa contributed immeasurably, with her energy and wide knowledge, to the maintenance and continuity of the Trust. The current exhibition, hosted, in Ailsa’s memory, by the Anderson Trust, provides a rare opportunity to view a wide range of her work including the featured painting - Helensburgh from the Barley Field.
Many of the paintings on display are on loan from private collectors whose generosity is much appreciated.
