Isobel Aitkenhead

I studied at Elgin Academy, and in 1955 won the Saltire Society Silver Award for my portfolio.

In the late 1960s I exhibited for the first time at the Caithness Artists’ Exhibition. This led to several commissions – mainly in oils, but some in watercolour.

About 1986 I joined the Forecourt Art Group in Aberdeen. From then I was a regular exhibitor until recently.

I like painting in both oils and watercolour and have experimented with mixed media.

My favourite subjects are water, mountains, flowers and boats.
