Nairn Portraits

Article 12 in Scotland’s Young Gypsy/Traveller Lives Project and the Nairn Book and Arts Festival worked with the Gypsy/Traveller community in Inverness to produce a ‘portrait gallery’ for inclusion in the 2019 festival.   The sketches were produced by local artists Helen Wright and William Mather.  

The portraits were due to be exhibited in a local gallery during Gypsy, Roma and Traveller History Month 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic this has not been possible.  It is hoped that the gallery will be hosted in the local area in 2021. 

Below are some of William Mather’s sketches.
