Daniel Cottam  (Kincraig) Arts Exhibition Opens at CairnGorm Mountain

 

Daniel Cottam is a self taught landscape and portrait artist brought up and living in Strathspey. He works in oils predominately and mainly produces commission pieces. He has, however, had solo exhibitions both in Scotland and in Malaysia and has toured in the Highland Open Exhibitions.

 He has a strong connection with Cairngorm Mountain – his father, Brian Cottam, has worked on the mountain since 1966 and was caretaker of the original Shieling building. Brian continues to work part time as a member of ski patrol in winter and as a visitor guide in the summer months.

 

Daniel has been skiing here since before he can properly remember -but he thinks it was around 1976 when he was 3!
The Exhibition at CairnGorm Mountain runs in the Day Lodge T Bar at Coire Cas until the 9^th August 2009 and is a collection of work inspired by Daniel’s time on and around Cairn Gorm Mountain.
