Colin was born in Antrim, Northern Ireland and educated at Birmingham Institute of Art, gaining a BA Honours Fine Art Degree in 1997. He has exhibited in England and Scotland and has work in private and public collections.

"People often value paintings of a place they have visited, because they need to feel a connection with it and want to be reminded of where they have been. Lots of people have a longing to be by the sea. The freedom of being at the coast. The sounds, the smells, the sensation of being healthy and alive. I want my landscapes to share in that sensation, but I don't simply want to offer up a superficial representation.

I regularly travel to Scotland, where I find the high drama of the Scottish Coast, a constant source of influence for my paintings. There's a challenge involved in my work. With every canvas I attempt, I am searching for something. Beyond simply looking at my paintings and gaining an aesthetic pleasure, I do think it's important that they offer up space for thought" - Colin Carruthers
