Donald ‘DK’ Macleod

DK studied Art and Design at the University of the Highlands and Islands, North Uist campus in 2004 but since completing the course, has been largely self-taught. He has spent the subsequent years developing his style which has led to a slow evolution as experimental brush work has given way to a more assured understanding of his tools and process.

The landscape on his doorstep is the biggest inspiration for his work and he captures the Western Isles in his own interpretation. The coastal beauty looks familiar, yet otherworldly, cast into a different dimension of colour and reflection that excites and intrigues.
