Great Scots in China – Anna Hotchkis

Posted: December 22nd, 2025 | No Comments »

Terrific to see Scottish artist Anna Hotchkis featured in the “Great Scots in China” series published by the Scottish Government in China and the UK Embassy. Born in Renfrewshire in 1885, Hotchkis trained at Glasgow School of Art and Edinburgh College of Art as well as being associated with the artist community in Kirkcudbright, Dumfriesshire. She also spent time in Beijing and Northern China, painting. Here’s the full article here. BTW: if you want even more on Hotchkis I wrote about her for the SCMP magazine a while back here
