This is an exhibition of small paintings by Associate Alpine Club member Simon Pierse. The work was made following an expedition to West Greenland and Baffin Island with the Friends of the Scott Polar Research Institute in September 2018. Simon Pierse is a member of the Royal Watercolour Society, an honorary member of the Australian Watercolour Institute and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
Born in Bolzano and growing up in Udine, Italy, Riccarda de Eccher only started creating art in her forties. Now she is well known for her realistic and insightful depictions of mountains in the Italian Alps.
