Donald McIntyre

Was born in Yorkshire of Scottish parents in 1923 and spent the most memorable years of his childhood in the west of Scotland. He studied painting under James Wright, R.S.W. at Garelochhead. Qualifying as a dentist in Glasgow, he remained in that profession, working in the army and then in the school service until the age of forty, when he left dentistry to make a living as a full time painter. A member of the Royal Cambrian Academy, he was formerly a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour, the Royal Society of Marine Mists, and the Pastel Society. He came to live and work in North Wales in 1952 and first exhibited at the Albany Gallery in 1966.
