Born
in Fife in 1952, Brian Petrie trained in Graphic design at Napier
College in Edinburgh before Joining DC Thomson in Dundee as a magazine
designer.
In
1995, he left to pursue a freelance career as a cartoonist, producing
the cartoon strip “Chic ‘n’ Sammy for the Sunday
Mail and The Sporran Legion for The Scottish Sun where he now supplies
a daily topical cartoon.
The
very nature of the topical cartoon means it’s a tea time to
supper time shift!
The
rest of the working day is spent painting from his studio overlooking
the waves at Westhaven on the Angus coastline. His
inspiration comes from regular trips, armed with a camera and sketch
book, around the coasts and islands of Scotland.
Brian
works mainly in oils and acrylics and his paintings are on show
in a number of carefully chosen Galleries throughout Scotland.
