Fine Art BA at Hornsey College of Art (1977-81)

Gillian lives in London with her children and works from her studio in Waterloo. She teaches painting and fine art at Morley College 

 

​"I paint in oils and mixed media. My work combines the figurative, observation and abstraction. The images have always evolved from memories and feelings or events that have happened."
