Arran Artist of the Month
Ed O’Donnelly
I was born in Hamilton and studied Fine Art at Bath Academy of Art and Cyprus School of Art. Professionally, from the mid 80s to late 90s, I was involved in animation production and latterly in film and digital arts education. In the past decade I have gradually concentrated more on painting.
Coinciding with this issue of the Voice, I have a small exhibition of six paintings in Brodick Library showing examples of work from ‘themes’ developed and explored over the past five years. I use the term ‘themes’ loosely and one is not distinct from another, rather part of an evolving development. All the paintings are in watercolour, although I don’t consider them to be ‘watercolours’ in the traditional sense as the paint is applied in various ways, sometimes more akin to oil painting.
