A new art exhibition entitled ‘Rhythm of the Seasons’ has opened at the Community Gallery at Queen Margaret Hospital in Dunfermline.

‘Rhythm of the Seasons’ is a collection of artworks by contemporary Scottish artist Pauline McGee. The exhibition, which will run from November 2024 to March 2025, is inspired by the artist’s observations of seasonal changes and their impact on the local environment.

Pauline McGee is very familiar with Fife having lived in the Kingdom before settling in rural Perthshire. The collection of paintings on display at Queen Margaret Hospital feature places that have inspired her work and remain dear to her heart, like Pittencrieff Park and the Rumbling Bridge in Crook of Devon.

The community art gallery at Queen Margaret Hospital was established in 2023 and is located on the ground floor corridor connecting Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the hospital. The project was funded by Fife Health Charity with the purpose of helping enhance the hospital environment for patients, staff and visitors.

‘Rhythm of the Seasons’ is the latest collection to feature since the gallery opened last year and follows the successful ‘Old Dunfermline’ exhibition and another by the Dunfermline Photographic Association, whose members provided an inspiring and curated selection of images from across Fife.

Mark McGeachie, Director of Fife Health Charity, said: “We are delighted to see the ‘Rhythm of the Seasons’ collection featured in our community gallery. The exhibit is a very welcome addition to Queen Margaret Hospital, and particularly so as we move from autumn into winter.
