Edinburgh 1991
It took some time to settle into a post art school work pattern. I moved studio about four times and my work took a real slump. I had several galleries wanting me to commit to them and the pressure was taking its toll on my work. It is a whole different ball game making art outside of the educational environment. I also started to do some part time lecturing at Edinburgh College of Art and Grays School of Art in Aberdeen. I also was award the Elizabeth Greenshield Award, a Canadian bequest for young figurative painters for $10000. So I kept painting and the work eventually got better, but not before some London galleries lost interest. Oh it is a fickle world.. |
