My name is Alastair Faulkner and I’m an artist and photographer based in Inverness at the heart of the glorious Scottish Highlands, and Dundee. My day job is a little different as I’m training to be an orthopaedic surgeon.

I graduated with a degree in Medicine from The University of Edinburgh in 2012 and I currently work in NHS Highland. As a largely self-taught artist, my last art qualification was a GCSE in Art and Design at Secondary School obtained in 2004.

After pursuing photography for many years I returned to painting in 2016 and started capturing scenes around Scotland, particularly at the extremes of the day and at night. I also enjoy the challenge of painting portraits and attempting to capture a likeness. My work has been shipped both within the UK and internationally to Dubai, Hong Kong, Barcelona and the USA.

In September I will be undertaking a portrait and figurative painting course at the prestigious Florence Academy of Art.

I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have producing it! For more information on my art or to commission a work drop me a line at info@afaulknerart.com or read my blog “Bones and Brushes” for updates.
