Rosanne Barr

Rosanne Barr was born in 1981 in the village of Gartocharn at the south end of Loch Lomond.

She was awarded Silver and Gold Medals in successive years in Glasgow’s Kelvingrove Art Galleries Drawing Competition and subsequently exhibited at the Smith Galleries in Stirling. In 2003 she graduated with First Class Honours from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, Dundee. Later that year she exhibited in London at the British Design Centre and at The Mall Galleries where she was awarded a Licentiate of Distinction by the Society of Designer Craftsmen.

This year Rosanne’s work explores rugged Scottish coastlines, dramatic skies and quaint harbours around the East Coast of Scotland.

“Tightly composed and hugely atmospheric, there is a very pure sense of colour in Barr’s work, which has benefited in this series with a shift into oil.” 12.09.09 The Herald

Toby Cooke

Toby Cooke was born in Stirling in October 1986, and grew up near the village of Port of Menteith, Stirlingshire.

Showing a keen interest in art from a young age, he enrolled in a one year Foundation Course at Leith School of Art, Edinburgh, in 2004. It was whilst at LSA that Cooke discovered his love of painting and, having completed the course in 2005, he successfully obtained a place at Edinburgh College of Art. Cooke studied at ECA from 2005 to 2009, specialising in drawing and painting.

Toby still lives and works in Edinburgh. Toby won second place in the Jolomo Awards in 2009.

Maurice Forsyth- Grant

Having grown up on the family farm in southern Aberdeenshire, Maurice studied art at Duncan of Jordanstone college of art, graduating from there with an Honours degree in 1987.

Since then he has worked full time as a self-employed artist. Early years were spent producing mainly maritime commissions with a smaller element of architectural and landscape ones, which has slowly evolved to mainly painting Scottish landscape and coastal seascapes, topics of choice particularly of Aberdeenshire and Angus.

He has paintings in a number of private and public collections and received the Elizabeth Greenshields Award in both 1988 and 2009, notable commissions in the past have included the Royal yacht Britannia at Leith and more recently several of the sand-dune coastline at Balmenie, Aberdeen, site of the Trump golf course development. He continues to paint from his home where he lives with his wife and children over-looking the Montrose Basin and north Angus coastline.

Jack Frame

Originally from Kent, Jack graduated from the Kent Institute of Art and Design before coming to the prestigious Glasgow School of Art. After a very successful Degree show, where he was also awarded the Landscape Drawing and Standard life prize. From 2007 he held the Artist in residence position at Lomond School in Helensburgh until June 2010. He now lives and works in Glasgow.

His recent feature in the BBC documentary ‘The Glasgow Boys’ displayed his passion for painting the local Scottish Landscape from observation. He is best known for his portraits of Tree’s delicately rendered on large sheets of Perspex or glass. Jack won joint third place in the Jolomo Awards.

“Frame describes himself as a magpie in his approach to his work, but he is also a romantic in the way he engages his artistic sensibility - always striving to strip away the heaviness of what lies before him, be it in landscape or a figurative work. What he has produced so far is quite special, but keep an eye on this young man as he has an eye which joins forces with his fingers to conjure up triumphantly lyrical work.” Jan Patience, Arts writer, August 2009, Herald and Homes and Interiors.

Claudia Massie

Claudia Massie was born in Perth in 1978 and grew up near Selkirk.

She trained at Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 2000 with BA (Hons) Drawing and Painting. Her studies included a six month scholarship at the Facultad de Bellas Artes at the University of Salamanca, Spain.

Claudia focuses on Perthshire and the Borders in her Scottish Landscape paintings, from her home in rural Perthshire. As well as painting, she also does a lot of photography and some printmaking.

Claudia writes for the Spectator Magazine’s arts blog, “Touching from a Distance” and co-edits the arts and culture journal, New Linear Perspectives.

Keith Salmon

Keith Salmon was the winner of the Jolomo Awards in 2009.

Keith was born in Essex in 1959 and studied art at Falmouth College. He fulfilled a dream by moving to Scotland 12 years ago and although by this time he was registered as blind, he had the confidence in his new paintings to start to exhibit them again.

Keith has his own studio at Irvine harbour side in North Ayrshire. Having always loved walking in the hills, the stunning Scottish landscape is the perfect source of inspiration for his work. Winning the Jolomo Award last year was “a great boost to my confidence and has allowed me to concentrate on developing my painting further.”

Alistair Strachan

Born in Glasgow, Alistair studied art at Edinburgh College of Art graduating with a BA (Hons) in 1981.

Alistair has won a number of awards including the William Grant and Sons Ltd. Charitable Trust Prize, Paisley Drawing Competition Prize Winner and the Patrick Allan Fraser Scholarship, Hospitalfield, Arbroath.

He has been artist in residence at Grizedale Forest, Hospitalfield Alumni Residency, Arbroath and Artita, Piran, Slovenia.

His work shows a loose but deft use of paint in his soft and gentle ‘birds eye view’ of Glasgow and other Scottish cityscapes. Alistair’s paintings are often small, but still manage to capture the monumental scale of the urban landscape. Alistair was placed third equal in the Jolomo Awards.

FREE ‘Real Scotland - The Insider’s Guide’ worth £6.99 especially for you! Why do the locals never frequent the places where the tourists flock? What do they know that visitors don’t? The world over this phenomenon holds true – down cobbled backstreets and leafy byways, along unmarked paths and beyond echoing courtyards, the locals guard their best-kept secrets: little gems of pubs and restaurants, deserted white beaches and dancing waterfalls, ancient ruins and silent haunts that time has forgotten. And Scotland is no exception to this rule:

beneath its eye-catching facade lie hidden depths, an amazing array of authentic experiences just waiting to be discovered. To help you along, we’ve lifted the lid on the ‘Real Scotland’ – with a particular focus on Scotland’s islands, this exclusive guide draws on the nation’s collective consciousness. How did we do it? Simple – we asked the locals!
