Angus McEwan RSW ARWS

In 1983 I went to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and did a Degree in Fine Art then a Post-Graduate Degree in Fine Art.  I then took up a partnership with another artist doing commissioned art pieces and this eventually led to having a gallery in Dundee for a short time

At the time I was exhibiting and creating, all be it on a rather constrained basis.  I then decided to do a postgraduate certificate in Secondary Education at Aberdeen Northern College, gaining a distinction.  Independent of my studies at college, I won the prestigious Alastair Salvesen Travel Award and Scholarship.  When I finished my teaching certificate I traveled with my wife to China for approximately 3 months.  During my stay in China I created a total of 51 pieces of work, which went on display in the Royal Scottish Academy, The Mound, Edinburgh.  I was then approached to do some part-time lecturing at Dundee College. I currently lecture on the Portfolio course, HNC Contemporary Art Practise, and the Degree in Design and Creativity course as well as life drawing. 

Up do date I continue to teach 2 days per week at the college and this allows me the rest of my time to work on my paintings. I was elected to the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolours in 1995 and became an associate member of the Royal Watercolour Society in 2009.
