Oliver Brookes heading out to paint on his bike

Redundancy Dividend

9th September 2021

I am now a full time artist, I have pinned on my race number, and I’m looking down the road ahead.

I took voluntary severance in June 2021 and now I am fronting a new idea of myself. As a late-life professional I am planning my first seven wins. Taking up oils – painting the Borders in the steps of William Gillies – running wire and driftwood workshops in the garden – screenprinting a series on shade – finding a studio – exhibiting my cycle series again and teaching legal shortcuts to winning ways in watercolours.

Watch out for me in Marchmont trying to catch the last of the summer light.
