drawing, and mixed media, he creates contemporary Scottish art that blends traditional influences with a modern, expressive approach. Fullerton’s work is rooted in a deep connection to Scotland’s land and coastline, and his paintings are widely collected for their emotional depth and distinctive sense of place.
A significant part of Fullerton’s practice focuses on rural life, and he has become especially known for his Landscape paintings, capturing the quiet presence, personality, and gentle rhythm of the Scottish countryside. These works highlight his ability to observe subtle details — the texture of grass, the weight of weather, the calm stance of livestock — and translate them into paintings that feel familiar.
Alongside his rural scenes, Fullerton is also highly regarded for his harbour scenes featuring yachts, which have become some of his most recognisable works. These paintings often depict Scottish harbours, coastal towns, and moored yachts set against shifting skies and reflective water. Fullerton brings a strong sense of atmosphere to these scenes, balancing precision with expressive mark‑making to create paintings that appeal to collectors drawn to maritime themes and contemporary Scottish coastal art.
Across all his work, Fullerton explores how landscapes and environments hold stories, how memory shapes our experience of place, and how light and weather define the mood of Scottish art. His paintings have been exhibited throughout Scotland, across the UK, and internationally, and they appear in both private and public collections.
Through his evolving body of work — from cows in quiet fields to atmospheric harbour scenes featuring yachts — James Fullerton continues to contribute a distinctive voice to contemporary Scottish art, offering viewers paintings that are rich in atmosphere, narrative, and a deep sense of connection to Scotland.
