About MeInternationally renowned David Shilling is a milliner, sculptor, fashion and interior designer. This framed ink drawing of three hats from the 1970s shows his designs.

This belonged to Aberdeen born, Betty Clunas (1929-2012) who served as the Chair of the Friends of Aberdeen Art Gallery & Museums. It formed part of the décor in the lounge of a flat in Queen’s Road where Betty Clunas and her husband lived until 2012. She is thought to have bought it from the Rendezvous Gallery.
