Michael McEllin

I am a local amateur artist working in a variety of media. I have been an active hill walker for many years and a keen landscape photographer, which has more recently inspire a desire to paint and draw landscapes.

I have, however, also worked from the human figure for as long as I have been a hill walker (they both started at about the same time when I left university and moved to Bristol a great many decades ago and needed to build a new social life). Raising a family and moving out of Bristol created a large gap, but retirement gave me more opportunities and I took up life drawing again at Stroud Life Drawing's drop in sessions, plus more portraiture and painting at Box Art Group.

I also capitalise on my professional skills as a former computational physicist to construct bespoke software to produce mathematically inspired art work (See my Artful Computing website  for more information, or this gallery hosted on the Box Art Group website.
