Frank Hayes has broad and varied experience including as a Photographer, Illustrator, Printer, Environmentalist and Mentor.

Frank is committed to nurturing the artistic ability within everyone and improving mental and social health, confidence and wellbeing through the power of art, creativity and the environment. His own practice is inspired by a love of natural history in particular the wealth and diversity to be found in Dumfries and Galloway. A love of Sc-Fi and classic graphic artists and illustrator’s from the 1970’s also feature as a backdrop to his intricate and highly designed pieces. Working in ink, pencil and using classic restored Rotring pens and Japanese dip pens a focus on movement and accuracy of detail in his subjects makes for intricate and beautiful compositions.
