Karen Bonella recreates the Barrowland and the pubs and clubs where she worked for 20 years.
The Barrowland ballroom and other iconic Glasgow music venues have been shrunk to miniature by a Scottish artist.
Karen's tiny venues are a stark contrast to her other artistic inspiration - the quiet streets of Fife's coastal villages. King Tut's - where many bands got their big break and Oasis were famously signed, Bar Bloc - where she still works once a week to help out with admin and Nice n Sleazy - which takes her right back to her youth."As a teenage Goth, it was the first one where I got to hang out with fellow weirdosSoon after Karen began making her pub miniatures, requests for other venues started rolling in.
Family life took Karen, her husband and young son away from Glasgow to Fife, where she opened a market art stall in Culross three years ago.Culross has been used for filming location for Outlander, and her illustrations of the cast have also been a big hit with visiting fans of the US TV drama."I love Culross, it's stunning.
