Our Artist in Residence – Allan McNally, has been a professional mid-career artist since 2006.

He also regularly participates in art fairs in Glasgow, Aberdeen, and London. His work can be found in both private and corporate collections in the UK, USA, Australia, New Zealand, Spain, France, Portugal, and Japan.

Allan spent several years honing his artistic skills before completing his education with an Advanced Diploma in Art and Design.

Inspired by an art exchange to Tibet in 2006, Allan creates travel scenes from his subsequent trips to the Himalayas and Tibetan Plateau, where he lived with nomadic communities on multiple occasions.
