Featured Artists

Darren Woodhead was born in West Yorkshire in 1971, but has lived in Scotland since 1996. He is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London. All his work are watercolours, produced outside on location and drawn directly in brush.

By working direct from life, he aims to retain the freshness and energy that working outside gives, and revels in working in often extreme weather conditions.

Recently he published his second solo book ‘Up River, The Song of the Esk’ bringing together three years work from an appointed Artist in Residence position in the Scottish Borders. His first solo book ‘From Dawn Till Dusk’ published by Langford Press in autumn 2005 celebrated the wealth of natural history found along the forth as well as the Lammermuir Hills and the west coast. His paintings and drawings also feature in Drawing Birds by John Busby (2004).

Ken was born and brought up in Edinburgh and now lives in Innerleithen in the Scottish Borders.

After studying chemistry at Edinburgh University, he began painting in the early 1980’s and became a full time artist in 1990. He has been drawn to the west coast and mountains of Scotland and much of his work explores the open space of mountain tops and coastlines.
