Keith Salmon
Keith studied Fine Art at Shrewsbury and Falmouth Schools of Art between 1979 and 1983, before setting up a studio in Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1989 he moved back to Wales to join his partner and together they set up a new studio.
Around this time he was diagnosed with diabetic retinopathy. His sight deteriorated very quickly and within a few years he had to stop exhibiting work and instead try to find new ways of painting, using just the very limited sight he had left. He is now registered blind.
He moved to Ayrshire in 1998 and now has a studio space at Courtyard Studios in Irvine exhibiting his work. However, this has provided him with the determination to continue his unique view of the natural world around him. He has attempted to discover alternative means of working. This involved experimenting with painting techniques through a variety of mediums such as pastel and oils. In 2009 Keith won the Jolomo Award for Scottish landscape painters.
