Stanley Bird

Stanley Bird is a Scottish artist based in Edinburgh. After pursuing a successful career in law, Stanley attended evening classes, at the Glasgow School of Art in-order-to improve his technique and to widen his experience of making art, before embarking on a new career as a professional artist.
Working mainly in acrylic Stanley’s work ranges from larger scale representational portraits of animals, both in monochrome and colour, to smaller more intimate works.

Recently Stanley has been developing work of birds against bold flat colourful backgrounds and a series of ‘dug’-shots, characterful portraits of Man’s Best Friend. He works with a bold palette to create exciting images of the natural world, mainly birds, animals, and trees: images which seize the imagination and which people can relate to.
