GILL BAINBRIDGE - PAINTER

For over 24 years Gill taught Art & Graphics at Secondary School Level, in Cambridgeshire, which led to an MA in Art & Design in Education, relating to the motivation created by museum and gallery education to stimulate Art. Following her doctoral research (EdD), Gill latterly taught in a Specialist School, alongside assessing students for Exam Access Arrangements and providing 1:1 Specialist Support in Further/Higher Education Institutions.

Gill has always continued to design, paint and make as part of her everyday life. She has a love of nature, natural forms and the environment.

Her recent acrylic paintings are stylised, colourful and graphic in nature. Gill has found inspiration for her still-life studies within seasonal flora, coastal settings and the eclectic objects within her garden studio.
