About the artist....

Iain was brought up on a farm close to Aberdeen and studied painting at Grays School of Art. Thoughout his days as a student he was drawn to the dramatic landscapes of the Highlands, and so, when an opportunity presented itself, he moved to the Isle of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides. It's landscapes, coastline and culture has been a pivotal influence strongly defining his artistic vision.

It was in the Outer Hebrides he met his wife Jennifer who is also an artist.

He has exhibited widely - including:   The Gallery of Modern Art - Glasgow, Smithsonian Institute USA, Mitchell Library - Glasgow, City Arts Centre - Edinburgh

Iain is now based on the mainland.

Artists Statement... about the work....

Ideas start and develop on the page through drawing. I often enjoy exploring the possiblities of combining two and three dimensional elements. The result can be a playful amalgamation of form realized in paint and shaped using a wide variety of materials. The final compositions are often irregular in outline - a natural result of the creative procees.
