selected artist: Claire Gillie
Curriculum Vitae Qualifications:- Ba(Hons) in drawing and painting at Edinburgh College of Art, (2001). My work is based upon the landscape in Ross-shire where I live. Scenes from memory are usually triggered by an emotion or mood which starts off the basis to my paintings. From there I begin to focus on the paint itself and play with the different qualities of the paint. I hope to create an atmosphere through the quality of layer upon layer of paint, and by the use of combing and scratching into the paint to create ridges and marks. I love the fact that this gives the opportunity for the paintings not only to be interesting to the eye but also to the touch. As I have only left art school have yet to experience many shows. My degree show however provoked quite an interest in my work and I managed to sell all my paintings and receive a Royal bank of Scotland purchase prize. I also took part in the students exhibition in the Royal Scottish Academy last January and won the Sir Robin Phillipson award for painting. In the next year so far I look forward to Exhibiting in the Leith gallery in Edinburgh, with the Corporation Catto Gallery in London, and in the Royal Surgens hall, George st, Edinburgh.
