FAITH HOLMES


We recently discovered a fabulous artist & were tempted to buy one of her paintings.Faith Holmes studied Scottish Literature and Divinity at Glasgow. She moved to Mull with her husband in 2006, when he began a teaching post in Tobermory. Faith began painting seriously in March 2007, aged 39, with the help of a Highlands and Islands start-up grant. Although previously she had gained the odd commission in her spare time she is now painting full time and considers herself at an early stage in her painting career. In October 2007 she completed a successful first exhibition at Glengorm Castle, Mull, and continues to sell paintings in various locations on the island. Her work has been changing and developing rapidly and she hopes this, along with her natural talent, will make up for her lack of formal training.
