Jim Park

Jim Park is a native of Kilbarchan, Scotland, and his passage from Scotland to Albuñuelas in Spain has crossed oceans and continents.

He has travelled – and painted – widely, and has found homes in Menorca, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Libya and Germany, before moving to the beautiful Lecrin Valley in 2003. He chose this stunning corner of Andalucia for it’s never ending source of inspiration – glorious landscapes, sleepy villages, and the magic of the fiery flamenco.

Jim has painted “as long as I can remember”, winning, as a 12 year old, a prestigious junior scholarship to the Glasgow School of Art. His paintings can be found in private collections world-wide, with a particularly strong following in the United Kingdom. His exhibitions include the following:

• 1982 One man exhibition in Bad Essen, Germany
• 1985 One man exhibition York Theatre Royal, England
• 1987 One man exhibition University of York, England
• 1990 Joint Exhibition Ariel Gallery, New York, USA
