About UsOur Work

About

We Create Awesome Stuff

We are Lorna and Russel Hutcheson and are located in rural Ayrshire, Scotland. Having met at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee, we married in 1990 and have been a creative team ever since. Hutcheson Art exists to promote Lorna's return to her love of fine art. In 2023 Lorna applied to become an artist member of Paisley Art Institute and the Glasgow Society of Women Artists and was accepted on her first application to both of these prestigious societies. It was a wonderful surprise to win the Louise Burbour Award for 'Snow Leopard' which was bought during the exhibition. Her art classes are very popular and her students tackle a variety of topics in three week modules..

Kingsley Media was established in 1994 as a traditional graphic design business which continues in parallel as a B2B concern, with Russel serving broadcast and print media

With completely different, yet complementary, skills sets we make the perfect team.

Think of an Idea

Landscape, seascape, portrait, pets or a special location? Any meaningful subject can be painted for you.

Got the T-shirt

With years of experience in the creative industries we have been an influence for innovation with many corporate PLC companies. We also work with small businesses and sole independent traders as we believe good design is a universal aspiration.

Client Support

Art can be a very collaborative process. Lorna likes to talk. Russel, not so much! Let's get to know you and help achieve the best results.

How We Work

We like an informal meeting over a tea or coffee to hear about your prospective commission. Together we'll find a solution to meet your budget and expectations. Your happiness from start to finish is our aim and you may be introduced to something new and exciting?

Let's meet

A no-obligation chat is the best first step in the commissioning process.

Cost approval

No hidden surprises. We will agree the size and style before we start.

Ideas time

Endless possibilities mean we may test out a few ideas to see what you like best.

Creative chemistry

Let's choose the medium together that suits your commission.

Welcome to Kilmarnock and our busy, friendly and creative space where art classes, demonstrations and workshops all take place. Group painting classes with Lorna are held on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings and one-to-one lessons can be booked directly with her. Guest artists and makers add to the creativity with specialised classes in drawing and painting with Neil Cramond, fluid art with Joyce Ferguson and traditional spinning and woolcraft with Janet and Cameron Macallum while Lorna can lead beginners in needlefelting. We have also held classes in pottery and hand building with clay, polymer clay jewellery making and decoupage on glass.

Past Exhibitions

After a very successful run at the Harbour Arts Centre in Irvine, 'Promise' closed to the public on 23 August 2019. It was a fantastic experience and Lorna would like to thank everyone that took the time to visit and for their kind words and continued support.

KingsleyMedia

When Kingsley Media was created back in 1994 the Internet was in its infancy. Like all new technologies it was a bit basic, and consequently it was relatively easy to dabble in its design. Our web site was beginning to look a bit dated so we've retired it for the moment as we've not needed to follow that particular curve. So, just to be clear, we don't do web sites! Kingsley Media continues with its B2B remit, serving established broadcast television and printed media clients.

Television
Graphics

40 years of experience in live broadcast television with the BBC, STV and independents, including numerous elections and major sporting events. Also involved with current affairs, having contributed to major programmes around significant Scottish news stories such as Piper Alpha, Lockerbie and Dunblane. Russel enjoyed eight years as the graphics supervisor on BBC's Antiques Road Trip.

Sports
Photography

A regular contributor of general sports coverage on an ad hoc basis for SportPix agency, Russel's photographs have featured in many Scottish newspapers and online. He is an accredited photographer with ASO, the organiser of the Tour de France and other major professional cycling events.

Digital
Production

We are happy to assist with other people's output, bridging old school skills with the latest industry software suites. We still have a Letraset burnisher and are dab hands with a ruler and scalpel, and still have all our fingers to prove it!

Traditional
Print

We can still turn our hands to creating artwork for the printed page or designing specific content. Any excuse for Lorna to inhale the fumes from press inks!
