Kim Scouller
Kim Scouller is a Glasgow born (1980) multi award winning Scottish artist specialising in figurative painting. A graduate of Duncan of Jordonstone College of Art and Design in Dundee, Kim’s most recent works demonstrate her continuing keen awareness of her subject-matter and her ability to connect with the character of her surrounding. Following a two-week artist residency at Dumfries House in Ayrshire, Kim held a solo exhibition this past July named ” A Sense of Place” at the Mercer Chance Gallery in London. Ms. Scouller, recently selected to exhibit in ‘The Discerning Eye’ at The Mall Galleries London this coming November, has exhibited widely throughout the United Kingdom; exhibitions include “Two Scottish Painters” at The Caledonian Club, London in 2014, The Royal Society of Portrait Painters at The Mall Galleries London in 2013, The Howard de Walden Art Prize Exhibition at Thompson’s Gallery Marylebone London in 2009 and the BP Portrait Award in 2003. In 2005 Kim was the winner of the Aspect Prize, Scotland’s most prestigious painting prize for emerging artists. Kim Scouller resides in London.
