Lesley Banks, another fine graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, has travelled extensively throughout Europe and Amsterdam poignantly capturing her environment in architectural symphony. Not only has she contributed to Scottish culture through her pristine figurative reflections and landscapes, but also through her depiction of “down home” themes.

Lesley’s works are widely acquired for private collections in Italy, Australia, Belgium, Canada, USA, and throughout Britain.
