Alaska Painting

Hugh Quinn: Profile: My name is Hugh Quinn. I am 54 years of age. Born and bred in Scotland, I have worked in various fields over the years. I started painting about six years ago, a natural progression in my creativity. I paint how I feel and I paint whenever I feel the inspiration to do so. Painting is like exercise for me. If I don’t do it I do not feel 100%. The material I use is oil on canvas. I have recently started using acrylic paint for abstract work. Sometimes my Art is influenced and inspired by other paintings .Sometimes I see the subject all at once in my mind’s eye. At other times it can develop in stages. I consider Art to be mysterious and its beauty to be recognised by the viewer. If there is a theme to my painting it is ambiguity I feel the more ambiguity in a painting, the more enriching and appealing it is. I enjoy painting and I hope the viewer enjoys the results. I choose to paint from my imagination, I am self taught, having always explored ways to be creative throughout my life, writing poems and also song-writing and guitar playing. Apart from this I work as a Carer for adults with special needs, which is both challenging and rewarding.. My art work is on canvas ready to hang. All my paintings are signed on the front. All my paintings are carefully packed. I thoroughly cover each one of my paintings with bubble plastic wrap surrounded with sturdy foam board corner protectors , and tough cardboard. My paintings are shipped with complete protection including a CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY signed and dated by me. If you want any more information about me please email
