A small wooden heart printed with the names of the Orkney islands in soft colours, made in Orkney by Claire Kirkpatrick.
A wooden hanging heart printed with the names of the Orkney islands – Hoy, Westray, Sanday, Rousay, Mainland, the holms and all the smaller pieces in between – in soft reds, blues, greens and greys.
Made in Orkney by Claire Kirkpatrick, who has lived there almost all her life and works in several different mediums inspired by the weather and the place itself. The area hearts have been part of her work since 2015.
About 10 cm wide and around 3 mm thick, with a jute string for hanging. Light enough for a doorknob, a window catch or a tree branch.
A thoughtful little gift for anyone with Orkney connections – new arrivals, old hands, or anyone who left a piece of themselves there.

I have lived in the Orkney Islands almost all my life and I'm very passionate about my surroundings. I love nothing more than being indoors on a wild night listening to the wind howling outside or seeing the stunning Northern Lights from my back garden. The weather and environment are very much inspiration for all my work.
Living on an island you become multi-faceted and I believe my art styles reflect this, as I work in several different mediums. I have been producing the area hearts since 2015 and have covered over 1500 areas in Britain. Alongside this I love to paint and create collages, and when time allows, I love working with wood too.
I share a shop in the historic harbour town of Stromness, 'Lollie and Laine' with my friend Elaine and fellow artist Jeanne Bouza Rose. We opened in 2022 selling a range of handpicked gifts, art and homeware. I thoroughly enjoy meeting people visiting our islands from all over the world. When I am not working I have a busy home life with my 3 children, husband, cat and dog.
I hope you enjoy seeing my different styles of art work as much as I enjoy creating them x
