Biographical Text
Stuart Park was born at Kidderminster, Worcestershire, but his parents were from Ayrshire and he was brought up there. He studied at the Glasgow School of Art and later in Paris. He was associated with the Glasgow Boys and exhibited with them, but was never a central member of the group. During much of his active life he had a studio in an outbuilding of Bellfield House, a large house with grounds left to the people of Kilmarnock. He specialised in still life, and exhibited regularly at the Royal Scottish Academy and the Glasgow Institute. He died in Kilmarnock at the age of 71.
