The Glasgow Collection

Glasgow Collection: A Love Letter to the City That Shaped Me

Glasgow holds an irreplaceable place in my heart, a city as vibrant and gritty as the art it inspires. Known by many as Scotland’s cultural capital, Glasgow was more than just a backdrop; it was a place of growth, friendship, and creativity for me. During my time there, I pursued a BSc in Multimedia at the College of Building & Printing and Caledonian University, diving into the digital arts that would shape my career. Becoming the student president was a first taste of community involvement and advocacy—a passion that’s followed me ever since. Working at the iconic Lauders Pub and exploring the city’s streets, art, and nightlife, I made connections and memories that would last a lifetime.

This collection captures my personal connection to Glasgow’s spirit, from its historic buildings and iconic landmarks to the raw energy and humour of its people, celebrated in shows like Still Game.

Now, even as I enjoy the peaceful hills and fresh air of Bute, my bond with Glasgow continues through my son, who studies there, keeping the city's flame alive in our family. Through this collection, I hope to share a bit of Glasgow’s grit and charm with you—art that pays homage to a city that’s both muse and memory.
