Statement
Ian Scott Elliot, born in Glasgow, won gold and bronze medals for art on four successive occasions before attending Glasgow School of Art. He entered the teaching profession to become, for some 16 years, the Head of Art & Design in King’s Park Secondary School, a large Glasgow comprehensive secondary school.
In 1997 he left teaching to devote himself totally to the pursuit and development of his own artistic career. Ian now visits and gains much inspiration from the island of Mallorca and from Italy and France - sharply contrasting environments from that of his native Scottish shores. He is known for incorporating the strong colours of the Mediterranean in all his landscapes.
