Reverend
This is the Rev. Margaret Laurie. She was visiting the Wigtown Book Festival in September 2011, where I was artist-in-residence. Over the 10 days of the festival I took over 170 portraits of authors, visitors and residents, which were printed out and placed all around the walls of the studio space I'd been given. This was one of my favourites.

Thanks to the curators and anyone who voted favourably for it. In a wonderful piece of serendipity, it was also published here on 1x on my birthday :)
