Since 2021  I have the  privilege to welcome them with an exhibition at one of the venues they will be playing, the Gaelic Centre.

OPEN HOUSE & STUDIO

Carnduncan

1./2. and 8./9.November 10am - 6pm

To allow the presentation of as many of my paintings I turned my house as much into a gallery as possible.

Please be invited to have a look and also browse through portfolios and displays full of unframed paintings and high quality prints.

JAZZ ON ISLAY

Exhibition at the ICCI in Bowmore

24 August - 4 October 2025

It is that (and perhaps my favourite) time of the year! World class musicians visit, bring the jazz and perform on our island. It feels a privilege to having the opportunity to welcome them with an exhibition of watercolour paintings inspired by their music and also by local subjects.

The majority of the paintings in this exhibition will be of the FERGUS McCREADIE TRIO and of the ISLAY WOOLLEN MILL.

LINESCAPES AND LANDSCAPES

Exhibition at THE GATHER in Tarbert

9 July - 23 July

Another exhibition with my inspiring friend Trish Haggerty. This time in a beautiful Café / Gallery right in the centre of Glasgow's Westend.

I will also off quick INTRO INTO WATERCOLOUR sessions for those who would like to get started with this special medium.

THE STUDIES

Exhibition at THE GATHER in Tarbert

7 July - 31 August

Some of my paintings I am most fond of are those quick studies, which I either paint plein air or in my studio, to warm up with a subject, or to play with the composition and the colour palette.

These kind of rather small pictures will make the majority of the works exhibited.

WILD ISLAY

Exhibition at NICOLL's GALLERY

in Glasgow

1 - 5 May 2025

Trish and I have exhibited in this lovely gallery before and now both of us are looking forward to our first shared exhibition.

Our styles and approach to painting are quite different, which should make an interesting contrast.

Be invited to also come along for the late opening on 2 May, to have a wee snack, some craic and drink!

JAZZ ON ISLAY

Exhibition at the Gaelic Centre, Islay

26. August - 4. October 2024

It will be an honour to exhibit some landscape and jazz paintings during two cultural highlights in the islands calendar, the Islay Book Festival and the Islay Lagavulin Jazz Festival.

Beside some finished jazz paintings, I will also show studies and sketches, that are part of the process of creating a picture.

In May 2024 I will be exhibiting at the

Nicolls Gallery, Glasgow

This will be my first exhibition in Glasgow and I am really looking forward to it!

ISLAY IMPRESSIONS

14. August - 11. September

My exhibition "Islay Impressions" in the ICCI in Bowmore will feature many new watercolour paintings of subjects of this beautiful island.

I am especially happy that visitors of the Islay Book Festival will be able to see the exhibition.
