Grannum

Bio Born in London and raised in Edinburgh, I worked as an accountant before taking a career break in 2013 to study at Leith School of Art for 3 years before returning to work in local government, while continuing to paint and exhibit in my spare time. I returned to Leith School of Art following retirement and am now in my second year of the 3-day Painting Course. Statement Working across painting and mixed-media processes including collage and printmaking, my practice explores memory, landscape and the tension between nature and artificiality.
