Artist: Maggie Milne.
According to Milne's website (text taken on 27 July 2023): 'I am an award-winning artist with more than 32 years of professional experience and I specialize in the study of the human figure and portraiture, although I sometimes work within the field of still-life and abstract composition. I live and work in Dundee where I am a part-time lecturer at Dundee College. I graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art, University of Dundee in 1979 and since that time I have executed more than 180 commissioned portraits and have exhibited widely in galleries throughout the UK, including the National Portrait Gallery, the Mall galleries, and the County Hall Gallery in London, the Royal Glasgow institute and the Royal Scottish Academy.' |
