Gill has been a practicing, professional artist since graduating with honours from a fine art degree in 1989. In addition to producing her own work for exhibition or commission she has many years experience as a lecturer in further education in Gloucestershire and Worcestershire, specialising in fine art and life drawing. She has also worked with a broad range of community groups, the NHS and local authorities to enable people to produce their own public art.
Living in the beautiful Scottish Borders, the last nine years have been spent bringing up her boys, renovating an old farm cottage and building a stunning new studio from the old stone pig sties at the bottom of the garden. Gill is now concentrating again on her own work and sharing her comprehensive knowledge and love of art by running a series of art courses from the fully-equipped art studio. Look at the Crossing Borders website for more information and to see other Scottish artists.
