​  My solo show 'Earthly Spirits', opens at East Quay, Watchet, UK, January 31 - May 4, 2026

'Beauty Tricks' has been acquired by the Stained Glass Museum, Ely, for the UK's national collection and is

now on permanent display in Ely Cathedral.

'Self-Portrait Dreaming of Portavadie' was acquired by the National Museum of Scotland in 2020. 

 "It's true, I can't get enough of Scottish artist Pinkie Maclure's stained glass works" Brian Boucher, ARTNET 2025

"Pinkie Maclure, whose first solo exhibition is currently on at CCA in Glasgow, has forged a unique niche in the

contemporary art firmament by working in stained glass. It’s both monumental and irreverent, elevating the

humble pursuit of gardening while thumbing its nose at the grandiose history of the medium. "

Susan Mansfield****Scotsman

 My first major solo show 'Lost Congregation' at CCA Glasgow closed after an extended 3 month run.
