James Orr

Born in Glasgow and now lives in Ayrshire. He has been painting for many years having studied part time at Glasgow School of Art. He exhibits regularly in the annual RSA and RGI exhibitions and his work is held in a number of collections, notably in the personal collection of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. He is also a regular exhibitor in a number of London galleries where the colour and vigour of his work are seen to mark him out as a distinctively Scottish artist.

He paints in acrylic which ideally suits his style. His paintings are always bold and full of light and colour. They are joyful paintings which celebrate the simple pleasures of life.
