Alison McWhirter

b. 1975, Scotland. Lives and works in Glasgow, Scotland

Alison achieved her BA in Fine Art and her postgraduate MA in Visual Culture at Bath Academy. Alison uses bold marks and colours intuitively and spontaneously, her paintings are about pure feeling. She has exhibited her artwork in New York, Hong Kong and Singapore.  Additionally, her first solo London show, True Colours was at The Russell Gallery and she has also exhibited at The Royal Scottish Academy. In her own words about her work, “I’m striving to get at the beauty in the things that surround us, to that which elevates us beyond reason”.
