My Inspirational Art is a quirky art gallery that offers a variety of unique artwork. My name is Gillian MacEwan and I’m the artist, and I’m based in a small village called Dunkeld in Scotland. The prints have been created from my original artwork but I have also created several commissioned pieces for customers. There is a wide variation to my artwork and I want everyone to be able to enjoy my work.
The Story
My name is Gillian MacEwan and I am a self-taught artist. I have known that I could draw since I was around 9 years old. At that age I loved being able to draw cartoon characters, such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. My art has always been a hobby and I have experimented with different designs and styles. I have also had the privilege of painting several murals over the years. I studied art at school but did not think it was for me and saw no future in it, so I never went to art college.
After leaving school, my art became pretty much non-existent except for a few art projects for friends and family. I have never seen myself as an artist but love being able to doodle!!
Then along came lockdown. After helping my eldest son with his art homework, I decided to pick up my sketch pad again. I realised that drawing was helping with my mental well-being and I loved being able to just draw whatever I wanted. Things have snowballed since then and I have had some of my work made into prints. I have been selling them at craft fairs and through social media but have now decided to share my work through this website. I have well over 100 original art pieces in my portfolio and I will continue to add to that collection. I have also created a few commissioned pieces on requests from customers. I will try to accommodate any requests. For now, I hope you enjoy looking at my current selection and that they make you smile!
