Artist background

Jamie Primrose graduated with a BA Hons in Fine Art from Newcastle University in 1994. After a decade of study, world travel and work in London (in the creative environments of photographic libraries such as Getty Images and Digital Vision), Primrose has now successfully established himself as one of the most exciting talents in the UK, since returning home to Scotland in 2003 to become a full-time professional artist.

Outstanding success

In just six years Primrose has hosted 17 of his own highly successful solo art exhibitions in Edinburgh and London with a string of recent sell-out exhibitions to his name.

In addition to owning beautiful paintings, clients are purchasing his artworks as a longer-term investment as they continue to rise in value every year with substantially increased demand.

Primrose’s paintings can also be seen in a selection of prestigious galleries in the UK and are also attracting an international audience - with his paintings displayed in many exclusive private and corporate collections across Europe, the USA, The Middle East, Australia and in Hong Kong.

Jamie also paints bespoke commissions for both private and corporate clients in a variety of media. Although booked for 2009, he is now taking a number of new commission bookings for 2010.
