ROD McCANCE - Born in 1950 in Glasgow, Rod is the great nephew (& former pupil) of the renowned Scottish artist William McCance and his wife Agnes Miller Parker; one of the finest illustrators and wood engravers of the C20th.  Following a career in engineering, Rod fulfilled his ambition to paint and sculpt on a full-time basis.  His second career has seen him exhibit in major galleries throughout Scotland and London, whilst also demonstrating for artists' materials manufacturers Winsor & Newton and Daler Rowney.  In the early 1990's Rod secured commissions from Central Scotland Police Force regarding their road safety campaign and annual report cover.  Rod's colourful and varied work encapsulating the vortistic style of the 1920's and 30's can be found in collections throughout Europe as well as in the USA, Canada, Mexico and of course, in his native Scotland.
