Book/ 'Seeing the Light' 40 years of Orkney Art by Jane Glue

It has been a personal ambition of mine for many years to create a book full of my own artwork and stories of how I have survived as a professional artist over the years here in Orkney. I finally managed to complete my ambition and 'Seeing the light' 40yrs of Orkney Art was published in November 2026.

'Seeing the Light' is A4 in size with a hardback cover back and front and includes over 130 pages of high quality reproductions and text from over a forty year period working as an artist in Orkney. My book also includes many hints and tips for budding artists. 

Quote by Leah Seator, managing director of The Orcadian newspaper and publisher: 

'Sharing a candid account of a journey through an artistic career spanning 40yrs, prolific Kirkwall-born artist, Jane Glue shares the highs and lows of her adventures in carving out a successful career, in her beloved Orkney. In this detailed celebration of her life and work, Jane sets out to inspire others, sharing exclusive advice on everything from savvy business moves, to painting tips. Her book paints a perfect picture of how life's ups and downs can inform and inspire the moving and changing process of an artist, while trying to survive-and succeeding-in a competitive industry. Jane's formidable strength and creative thinking have, over the years, made her one of the county's most successful and innovative working artists. She is thrilled to share her story here, for the first time.'
