Geillis Duncan. Healer. First piece finished for an upcoming group exhibition. The theme is folklore, but Iâm focusing on real women who were branded as witches, brutally tortured into false confession, and executed by the state. An estimated 2,500 people (the majority of whom were women) were killed by a fanatically religious Scottish government.
Last year I attended a discussion by the authors of How to Kill a Witch @witches.of.scotland at the @wigtownbookfest and was inspired by the work they are doing to exonerate these women and men, as well as reminding us to fight to protect our freedom and our voices.

Meet Catherine Dolch (@thecontrarycaptain ) đ¨â¨
Catherineâs work blends graphic precision with fine art expression â drawing from the organic marks of woodcut and printmaking while shaping bold, dynamic compositions.
Her illustrative style pairs strong visual structure with a symbolic color language that invites deeper interpretation.
Each piece balances design and emotion⌠structure and flow⌠clarity and complexity.
See Catherineâs work during the 2026 AOS Tour â and if youâre an artist, applications are open to share your own creativity!
