Muriel Barclay British

Muriel Barclay is a contemporary painter who has an interest in depicting figures within twenty-first century contexts . Muriel approaches her painting with dynamism and energetic physicality, a direct response to the dancers she portrays. It's an important partnership for Muriel, as it fuels her creative process, forcing her to re-examine the way she views movement and the human body, both sides committed to pushing their physical and creative limits.

Muriel has a host of successful solo shows to her credit and has received the Mabel MacKinlay Award and the Glasgow Art Club Fellowship from the RGI, the John Green Fine Art Award at the PAI and the Glasgow Society of Women Artists, special award. Her paintings hang in many public and private collections worldwide including Ernie Els, Sir Arnold Clark, Lord Harris, Sultan of Brunei, Alex McLeish, Sir Jack Harvey HBOS, Biggart Baillie, and Arisaig Partners.
