I am an Edinburgh based artist painting and selling
my work on a part-time basis. I have been painting
for a few years now and only really started selling
my work in March 2004.
I have attended various courses at the Edinburgh College
of Art - Dept of Continuing Studies, having originally
graduated from The Scottish College of Textiles in
Galashiels, where I studied a 4 year marketing and
design course in clothing and fashion.
All my paintings are original works painted in top
quality acrylic paint on high grade stretched canvas.
Each canvas is finished ready to hang unframed, as
I carefully paint round the edge of the canvas in
a continuation of the composition.
Up to September 2005 I have had 3 solo exhibitions
and also exhibited my work in the Strathearn Gallery,
Crieff and the Panton Gallery, Dunfermline. The Howies
Restaurant, Waterloo Pl, Edinburgh is an on going
exhibition space for me and is where most of my current
work can be viewed. I also have my own website that
can be viewed at www.janrileyart.com.
