Still Painting After All These Years

From the artist

My full name is Robert Hair Miller, and I was born in Dalmarnock Road in Bridgeton, Glasgow in 1954. I attended Thomson Street Primary School in Dennistoun then Whitehill Senior Secondary School. I did have the honour of reaching the highest mark in my art higher in the history of the one-hundred-year-old school at the time.

I became a carpet designer at Lyle’s Carpet Factory after leaving school but was made redundant after only two years when the factory was closed. I decided to go to Glasgow School of Art at the age of twenty-one but left there after two and a half years to make my living playing keyboards in various pop bands.

I didn't lift a paint brush for about twenty years.

I decided to paint again when I was forty mainly because it has always been my passion.

This exhibition is really to show I have many interests in the art world although portraiture will always be top of my list.

I have painted many faces through the years but one of my favourite images is of Amy Winehouse. Amy's mum Janis has one of my paintings and I have a treasured photo of Janis holding the painting of her daughter.

I hope this selection of paintings interests the people who take the time to visit, thanks in advance, Robert.
