Erlend Tait

Erlend Tait is a Visual Artist based in the Highlands of Scotland.

He grew up in the north of Scotland and received his BA Hons. from Gray's School Of Art specialising in Drawing & Painting. He then spent seven years working at a leading stained glass studio where he learned the ancient techniques of the glass painter-stainer.

Both traditions of oil painting and stained glass inform his current practice which combines portraiture of imagined people with pattern and symbolism.

Erlend exhibits his drawings, paintings and stained glass internationally and lives on the Black Isle with his wife, the artist Pamela Tait, with whom he also collaborates and exhibits.
