About MeAlthough brought up in Aberdeen, the highly accomplished etcher and artist James McBey moved to London as an adult and thereafter spent much of his time abroad, where he found inspiration for his art.Here McBey adeptly captures a quayside scene,
the sparkling impressions of a clear sunlit day bringing the central boat into sharp relief, whilst the famous skyline of the lagoon shimmers in the haze.
