I am the co-founder and co-host of the life drawing group, Glasgow Portrait & Figure, (formerly known as The Portrait and Life Collective).

Artist and GSA Post-Graduate, Olivia Macdonald and I, began the group in November 2020 for the students of GSA in response to the pandemic’s affect on the studio, and to supplement the life room, due to our inability to get in and draw. We have been running the classes weekly, up until late May 2021 year, working with models online in Glasgow and Edinburgh, all the way to Germany and Washington D.C. In September 2021, Macdonald and I will be launching publicly under the new name Glasgow Portrait & Figure, however our ethos is very much the same: a core value for observation as well as a sense of community and creative endeavour that is synonymous with the life room.

Glasgow Portrait & Figure aims to provide thematically structured and coherent portrait and clothed figure specific life drawing sessions, which honour a core value of observational drawing.
