~ Charles Rennie Mackintosh ~
I first became aware of Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1978, when I studied portrait painting at the Glasgow School of Art for one Year. Following that, from 1979 – 83, I studied BAhons in Fine Art & Design (Stained Glass) at the GSA under Alf Avella. At that time, Mackintosh was not nearly as widely known nor appreciated as he is today.
Since going freelance, and particularly since my collaboration with Rob MacInnes (Cannon-MacInnes Stained Glass, 1997 – 2017), my personal understanding and experience of working with Mackintosh’s glasswork has grown enormously.
We have worked together on House for an Art Lover, Windyhill House, the Willow Tea Room Trust, Glasgow School of Art, the Huntartian Art Gallery and Glasgow Museums and Art Gallery.
