Avril
Paton
Both Avril's father, Hugh and her Grandfather
Donald were Scottish landscape painters.
They lived and worked on the Isle of Arran the southern
most island of the Scottish Western Isles: Avril spent
her childhood there.
Attending
Glasgow School of Art in the late Fifties, she returned to
Arran in the early sixties and remained there until 1982. Since
then she has lived and worked in Glasgow during which time
she has seven solo exhibitions.
In
1994 she completed "Windows in the West" which Glasgow Museums
purchased the following week. Hung in the City's newly opened "Gallery
of Modern Art", the painting quickly established itself as
the Gallery's most visited exhibit; Prints of this work are
in constant demand.
