Orkney Art & Photography

The Orkney landscape has always been a great inspiration to artists with the ever changing qualities of colour and light in the sky, land and sea. OCA members work in a variety of mediums including watercolours, tapestry, stained glass and illustration and in addition to selling original pieces many also produce cards and prints of their work.
