THE ARTIST'S STORY
The Wallabies & The Jaguar
❖
Corin Sands
Primarily working in oils and gouache, Corin Sands is an interpretive artist practising across a wide range of private commissions and public works.
Here he creates a vivid tableau painted directly on wood, in a traditional Hatchment design, memorialising Fiona Colquhoun, lover of breaking records in speed boats, Loch Lomond and wallabies, to name a few.
Emblazoned as a fitting epitaph are the words “For Scotland”, which Fiona Colquhoun was said to have uttered in reply when asked why she sought to drive fast boats and smash records.
