Former teachers team up for art exhibition

CRIEFF-based artists Peter Kirley and Julie Millar at the opening of their two-person exhibition at Frames Gallery in Perth’s Victoria Street.

Both artists have lived in Perthshire for many years and have exhibited frequently in the area but although they have known each other throughout this time, this is their first show together.

The artists share a strong bond, having taught together at Crieff High School, and both feeling the liberation of recently putting their teaching careers behind them.

The exhibition continues until July 19.
