About me

My name is Avril Paton, I am a Scottish artist living and working in the City of Glasgow UK. When I started to make a life here in 1982, the city and it's citizens became, right from the start, the principle focus of my artistic strivings.

I can honestly say that I fell in love with the people and places that became part of my daily life. The feelings were so strong that they drove forward and sustained my work for good number of years.

The best known of the series 'Windows in the West' was completed in 1993. 

The latest and the last 'The Four Graces' was completed in 2016. It depicts a time, in a day, in the life of Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum; a place much loved by generations of Glaswegians and others.

In archive section there are examples of other themes I worked on before, during, and after the Glasgow one.  Many of the images I have selected to show you may be reproduced as fine art prints by arrangement with me.  Please do not hesitate to enquire without obligation by sending an email to [email protected], I will be pleased to answer your questions.

The Scottish Prints featured here are produced, published and signed by myself. Prints signed by me are exclusive to this site.

I hope you will stay for a look!
