Michael Clark
When he graduated in1983, a love of film led to Michael working for the BBC in Glasgow. Moving to London in 1989 he worked as a freelance art director, gradually spending more and more time painting. Ten years later with a need for space to accommodate three children and a busy studio he returned to Scotland where he now paints full-time from his studio in Ayrshire.
