The Jetty Gallery
James Fraser RSW
James Fraser was born in Glasgow in 1958 and graduated from Edinburgh College of Art with a BA (Hons) in 1999. He attended art school as a mature student after a career in the Civil Service. While in his first year, he was awarded the Heriot Watt University award for outstanding merit.
His subject matter is varied and James uses a whole range of materials in his working method. Within this variation, however, he regards the aesthetic quality of the finished work paramount.
James has exhibited at various galleries throughout Scotland and at the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA), Royal Society of Watercolourists (RSW), Paisley Art Institute (PAI) and the Royal Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts (RGI) annual exhibitions. In August 2006 he was elected a professional member of Visual Arts Scotland (VAS). He is also an Ordinary member of Society of Scottish Artists. In 2005 James Fraser was awarded the Peter Potter Gallery Trust Award, and was elected as an RSW in Oct 2014.
A regular exhibitor in numerous galleries, his work is also now in many private collections.
