George Birrell

Have you always known that you wanted to become an artist? I did a lot of drawing as a child. So when it came to secondary school and making a choice between art, science and music…the music teacher was a monster. The science teacher was a monster. So I did art. What route did you take to reach that destination? From school I went on to the Glasgow School of Art Which artists influenced you along the way? I was very much influenced by Glasgow artists, Scottish artists, Scottish colourists...
