Stanley Bird

Stanley Bird is a Scottish artist based in Glasgow. After trying to get a successful career in the law, Stanley returned to painting and now taking himself into a new artistic direction.

He works with a bold palette to create exciting images of the natural world - mainly animals, birds and trees - images that seize the imagination and that people can relate to.

Stanley also works in acrylics and mixed media on board and on canvas - but is willing to use whatever he needs to make sure he captures that elusive image he is making.

Colin Burns

Born 1944

Colin Burns is a renowned painter of landscape, sporting art and natural history subjects. Born in Norfolk, many of Colin’s paintings depict views of East Anglia, the beauty of which has inspired so many fine artists from the 18th century to the present day. However, he is equally adept at capturing the highlands of Scotland and many other beautiful unspoilt areas of England.

He has held seven one-man exhibitions in London and his work is represented in many important private collections, both in Europe and America.

William Cruikshank

(1828 – 1886)

A very fine Scottish painter of still life, game and birds, an imitator of W H Hunt in the number of bird' nests that he painted, but he included more birds in his watercolours and oils. His work is exhibited in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum and the Fine Arts Society, London.

Ian Griffiths

Born in Yorkshire in 1956, he first exhibited at the age of 15 years but even after encouragement from Sir Peter Scott it would not be until the end of 2006 that Griff took up painting professionally.  He now resides on the Lizard peninsular in Cornwall with his family having lived around the UK from Sutherland to the Isle of Wight, Yorkshire to Devon and travelled extensively overseas.

His work has been featured in many galleries and widlife exhibitions in the UK as well as USA and the continent.

Self-taught he believes in experimenting and using the best medium for the individual painting and subject which, in the majoirty of cases, are birds.  From watercolour sketches to large oil paintings Griff takes advantage of the mediums' properties.  Calling on the lifetime's experience of field experience and observations, Griff wants to develop the relationship between the subject and viewer and evoke a feeling of being part of its world.
