Cowall is one of Argyll and Bute’s most striking peninsulas and is visible from Cove Park. This series of residencies, for artists based on the peninsula, has been developed in partnership with the Cowal-based organisation Dunoon Burgh Hall.

Anoushka Havinden is an artist and writer. Born in London in 1976 and raised in the North East of Scotland, she spent many years in Glasgow and now lives in Dunoon with her family. She studied Drawing & Painting at Glasgow School of Art and has worked as an artist and tutor, writer and poet. She is interested in perception, and how we experience life through both constructed stories and our senses. Her painting moves between figurative and abstract, evoking both embodied perception and dream/memory/imagined experience. She is currently considering how to bring together her writing and visual arts practises.
