Artist Ron Sandford was born in Greenock in 1937. His talent and curiosity for life, place and work has taken him all over the world.

He moved to Cullivoe, Yell, with his family in 2002. From there he continued to produce a remarkable body of work; landscapes and still life studies mostly in pen, ink and watercolour.

His latest exhibition opens in the Shetland Museum’s Gadderie space today (Saturday) at 3pm.

Shetland Voices producer Jane Moncrieff spoke with Ron in advance of the show.
