1. Stanley Bird
Stanley Bird is a Scottish artist based in Glasgow. After trying to get a successful career in
the law, Stanley returned to painting and now taking himself into a new artistic direction.
He works with a bold palette to create exciting images of the natural world - mainly animals,
birds and trees - images that seize the imagination and that people can relate to.
Stanley also works in acrylics and mixed media on board and on canvas - but is willing to
use whatever he needs to make sure he captures that elusive image he is making.

5. Ian Griffiths

encouragement from Sir Peter Scott it would not be until the end of 2006 that Griff took
up painting professionally. He now resides on the Lizard peninsular in Cornwall with his
family having lived around the UK from Sutherland to the Isle of Wight, Yorkshire to
Devon and travelled extensively overseas.
His work has been featured in many galleries and widlife exhibitions in the UK as well as
USA and the continent.
Self-taught he believes in experimenting and using the best medium for the individual
painting and subject which, in the majoirty of cases, are birds. From watercolour
sketches to large oil paintings Griff takes advantage of the mediums' properties. Calling
on the lifetime's experience of field experience and observations, Griff wants to develop
the relationship between the subject and viewer and evoke a feeling of being part of its
world.
