Featured Artists - Scotty Wilson & Madge Gill

Back in 2006 I went up to the Whitechapel Gallery in London. I had been invited by a friends son who worked there and also met up with an old school friend.

This was the Exhibition we went to see at that time I had only just started on my artist journey. The art affected me deeply. Mostly I fell in love with the work of Madge Gill


Recently there has been an upsurge in interest and now there is an excellent Madge Gill website.

Then there was also Scottie WIlson



He invented a world populated by "Greedies"

There is not a dedicated web site for Scottie - what a shame. Most large galleries have one or two of his works so you can see agood variety if you search google..

As a child I played continually with Spirograph. I was fascinated by the lines weaving their way around a design.

On the homeward journey my train got stuck due to a points failure :-) That gave me time to do  "Woman Reborn"


It was the first of my doodle art works.

  1. Oh lovely to see some Madge Gill images (and the Wilson too) - I have held a long fascination for Gill's work since the early 1990's when I wrote about her work for my undergrad dissertation. I find her work enchanting and inspiring - best wishes Cathy
