Cara McKinnon Crawford’s inherent gift in the handling of oils was honed during her Glasgow School of Art training, with her profession developing extensively over the ensuing forty years.

Recognised internationally as an exponent of the great Scottish Colourist tradition her intuitive mastery in the handling of light and colour has naturally resulted in her work being collected and shown extensively, with a client base from the Scottish Parliament to Exxon Mobile and many   Private Collections worldwide.

As a full time practising artist for so many years and a canvas extending from her native Highland roots across Europe, a Cara McKinnon Crawford oil painting is instantly recognizable for its true representation of the artist’s vision. However, her palette is never restricted or confined by subject matter, fashion or influence.

 Cara is a painter who continues the rare practise of painting on site, pushing the boundaries and actively seeking out new subjects, she describes Scotland as her canvas.

To own a piece of her work is to invest in a permanent Scottish Colourist tradition.
