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.
Selected
Prints are available
