Ritchie Collins

Ritchie was born in Prestwick on the west coast of Scotland in 1978. He has painted all his life and studied painting and illustration at the Glasgow College of Building and Printing before settling in Edinburgh where he works from his own gallery/studio in Leith.

His work is influenced by the Scottish Coast, wild countryside and the interesting characters he meets along the way. Vibrant colour, simple form and creative use of texture are woven together to give Ritchie’s paintings a truly magical quality.

Ritchie exhibits across the UK and New Zealand and has a growing worldwide following with private collectors.
