We are happy to host the Deeside Landscapes Exhibition, featuring the work of local artist Allan Lawson.

Born in Glasgow, quite a long time ago, the prize-winning painter, Allan Lawson, has lived in Finzean for 30 years, where he also has his studio.

Educated at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, he gained both post-graduate and Hospitalfield House Scholarships, also was awarded a Scottish Arts Council Residency to Orkney and an artist’s grant to help found his exhibition in London University.

Perhaps best known for his large lyrical abstract paintings, Allan also loved to paint local landscapes, particularly incorporating the River Dee. (Allan is a passionate fly fisherman and an accomplished salmon fly tyer.)
