A commission for an icon - Johnnie Walker
Discover the story behind Joanna McDonough Art's unique commission for Johnnie Walker, bringing the iconic Striding Man to life for the Cardhu Distillery. This project highlights a fascinating connection to the Speyside region.

Bringing the Striding Man to life
In 2023, Joanna McDonough Art was honoured to be approached by Diageo for a special commission: to paint a full-size replica of the Johnnie Walker Striding Man. This distinctive artwork was destined for the flagship Cardhu Distillery in Speyside, specifically for its newly refurbished visitor centre.

Inspired by tradition, painted with passion
The creation of this piece was a journey of artistic expression, capturing the essence of the Striding Man while reflecting the unique style of Joanna McDonough Art. It stands as a testament to the artist's ability to translate iconic imagery into a captivating work of art.
