George Birrell trained at the Glasgow School of Art and started painting full time in 1998 after a career as a lecturer and teacher in art and design. He is a frequent contributor to The Scotttish Societies including the Royal Academy. He is interested in the architecture of the East Coast towns and the fishing villages of Scotland. Inspired by the east coast of Scotland, its architecture  and evidence of the hand of man on the landscape. Vigorous handling and strong design are ahallmarks of his painting. Simplification and stylisation, strong colour and bold composition  are an emotional expression of feeling about the subject.
