Judy Kyle
Although I enjoyed Art at school and left with O- and A-level passes, it wasn’t until 8 years ago that I took up painting. I discovered ILA funding which enabled me to study at Aberdeen College of Commerce with a grant of £200 per year towards courses. I took full advantage and still do study Art at Ruthrieston Community Centre with the tutor, Mike Samson, on a Monday afternoon. I also belong to a group which meets in the Duthie Park Educational Centre on Friday mornings.
My favourite medium is pastel and I love doing portraits, but I also paint in acrylic and sometime oil. I like to explore new subjects, not altogether abstract, but a change from the usual landscapes, some of which are featured here.
I have exhibited at See, Salt & Sound Exhibition, McMillan Trust Exhibition, Acorn Gallery in Inverurie, Banchory Art Exhibition, The Hub at Cults, The Heritage Hall as part of Culter Gala Week, and Kelly’s Coffee Shop in Culter.
I recently joined the Forecourt Artists and find in the members kindred spirits, mostly retired folk like myself with a love of painting, a wealth of talent and time to devote to running the exhibitions.
I hope you will visit my website www.judithkyle.co.uk where you can view more of my work.
