About Artist Catherine Neville

I am a Glasgow based artist with a deep love for drawing buildings—especially the iconic Glasgow tenements and backcourts that define the heart and soul of our city. Working primarily in pastels and watercolours, I capture the unique character and charm of Scotland’s urban landscapes, drawing inspiration from the rich architectural heritage of Glasgow, Stirling, Edinburgh, Perth, and beyond.

​

Much of my artwork is influenced by vintage black-and-white photographs of Glasgow, which beautifully preserve the spirit of bygone days. My illustrations aim to evoke a sense of Scottish nostalgia, telling visual stories of the city’s past while celebrating its present.

​

In addition to my cityscapes, I create cartoon illustrations that blend humour with local culture. One of my proudest creations is The Wildcats: Pure Bravado—a charming illustrated book about Scottish tenement cats who speak in authentic Glaswegian Scots. 

​

As a sole artist and independent creator, every piece I make is a personal labour of love. I’m always sketching, painting, and dreaming up new projects—and I look forward to sharing many more artworks with you soon.

Whether you're a fellow Glaswegian, a lover of Scottish architecture, or simply someone who appreciates heartfelt, locally-inspired art—thanks for visiting!
