The exhibition is the culmination of six months work for Howard Butterworh who has been painting in aid of The Archie Foundation; the campaign has been well documented in the press and social media as #FINDHOWARD and has received extensive public support. The exhibition will be held at The Marcliffe at Pitfodels from 12 noon - 3pm. Alongside the 12 NEW paintings there will be some other original works by Howard. 35% of the sales will go directly to The Archie Foundation to help fund a Digital Art Gallery on the bridge between the Children’s Hospital and Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. Please download the FREE Activ Canvas app to use at the exibition to see the short video of #FINDHOWARD raising funds for Archie. We had the valuable support from the following sponsors throughout the summer and at the 12 locations. The Press and Journal, The Marcliffe Hotel and Spa, Hilltrek Outdoor Clothing, Mackies of Scotland, Xcite Media and Activ Canvas.

Every year Howard would take seasonal road trips to recharge and for a change of scenery. With a love of cars, nature and travel he found joy and inspiration in journeying to the wild and raw beauty of the West Coast and the Scottish Highlands.
