Anita McLaren

After a career in nursing, and having seen the family of three fly the nest (eventually), Anita started painting in 1999. She studied at Strathclyde University with Pheona Kerr and later with Neil MacDonald of Glasgow School of Art. She has been very involved with the Helensburgh Art Club and is the current Vice President. (www.art.helensburgh.info)

Her initial focus on West Coast scenes stemmed from hours afloat, cruising the Clyde and Inner Hebrides. She still finds her main inspiration from travelling within Scotland in her beloved campervan, but also enjoys painting people and small children - (having a plentiful supply of beautiful grandchildren to inspire her).

She has exhibited in many exhibitions in the West of Scotland and also at the Pink Gallery, the Jerdan Gallery in Crail, the Lemond Gallery in Bearsden and the Atholl Gallery in Dunkeld.
