In addition to all this he continued to paint mainly to commission and also for a Gallery/Framer in Deeside which sent work to America. He was a member of the Moray 4 in the sixties and took part in BBC TV Arts Programme “Scope” hosted by late W. Gordon Smith., critic.
Graeme has always been captivated with the asthetics of the work and the sheer beauty of good design. “Drawing is the life blood as far as I am concerned. The enormous complexity of painting a landscape is something I always regard with awe. I have no need for pretentious, intended to shock polemics”!
Graeme is producing stunning new work this year which Still Life Studio is proud to be showing. After a short time of exhibiting with us (now he has more time to spend painting) he already is one of our best selling artists. He is multi-talented and very enthusiastic.
