McCOO ARTIST SUFFERS STROKE
Brown hospitalised after falling ill at home
McCoo artist Steven Brown has been taken to hospital after suffering a stroke at his home.
The Ayr painter became unwell last week with medics later confirming the 49-year-old had suffered a stroke.
Mr Brown is responsible for the outlandish and colourful depictions of Highland cows and other animals that adorn the walls of thousands of homeowners around the
world.
A statement on the Steven Brown Art Twitter feed said that the artist was in a stable condition with doctors now monitoring him closely.
The statement read: “Steven was admitted to hospital last week after falling unwell at home. It has now been confirmed that Steven has unfortunately suffered a stroke.
“He is currently in hospital being monitored closely and is now in a stable condition. We want to thank the wonderful NHS staff for the incredible care Steven is receiving and we hope you will join us in sending him, his wife Caroline and their family all our love and support.
“We will of course update everybody in this much-loved colourful community that means so much to him as we have more information.”
