Born in Malaysia from Scots and Australian heritage, Tweedie is a full-time artist who works mainly in oils and pastels – particularly in plein-air landscape, portraiture and figurative works. After four years of formal studies in Australia, France and Spain, he has exhibited in several prestigious art prizes and group shows in New York, Canada, London, Paris, Italy, Spain and Australia in particular. With a love of colour plus solid and expressive gestural drawing, his work resonate contemporary neo-impressionist realism.
