Martin J. Leighton

Born in Montrose Scotland in 1951, Martin has lived in Weymouth in the beautiful county of Dorset for the past 48 years. In 2003 he opened his own gallery close to Weymouth harbour side with a working studio. The gallery is situated on the first floor of a beautifully converted Grade II listed building. Martin is a self-taught artist specialising in oils on canvas and he has been painting for over 30 years. It all started as a hobby but his work has progressed to a professional level with several paintings now being published as limited edition prints. His work is in collections not only in the UK, but also in Australia, USA and South Africa.
