Welcome to the website of Mungo McCosh. Mungo is a Scottish Painter, Printmaker and Illustrator.

​

Mungo studied at St Martin's School of Art in London and then The Glasgow School of Art where he took a degree in Environmental art.

​

In 1995 he moved to Istanbul where he established a studio and alongside other projects spent three years painting a Rood Screen in the Crimean Memorial Church. During this time he learned Turkish and, in the absence of facilities for etching, taught himself relief printmaking.

​

Since returning to Scotland in 2001 he has established a diverse artistic practise, moving happily between such apparently disparate disciplines as portraiture, mural painting, relief printmaking and pen and ink illustration. 

​

He worked in Iraq as a war artist in 2004 and subsequently accompanied the Prince of Wales as his official artist on number of overseas tours.

​

Mungo has exhibited widely in both the UK and abroad and illustrated books to great acclaim.

​

He married the Irish painter Phoebe Cope in 2012 and they share a studio in the Scottish borders with their two young children.
