Description
Porty Dogwalkers
“Porty Dogwalkers” is a delightful and atmospheric artwork by Scottish artist Nikki Monaghan — a piece that captures the simple, everyday ritual of dog walking in the seaside suburb of Porty (Portobello, Edinburgh), evoking a sense of community, calm and gentle movement. The print conveys not just a scene, but an experience: the rhythm of paws on pavement, the soft interplay of coastal light, and the unspoken companionship between walkers and their dogs. Whether you’re familiar with Porty or simply drawn to the tranquillity of this moment, “Porty Dogwalkers” invites you to pause and reflect on the quiet beauty of daily life by the sea.
The artist, Nikki Monaghan, brings a thoughtful, considered approach to her work. Her style often centres on human life, landscapes, and the interplay between people (or animals) and their environment — capturing mood, memory and place. Porty Dogwalkers is a beautiful example of how she marries observational detail with atmosphere, giving us a warm, nostalgic yet timeless representation of dog-walking culture in Porty.
