Gill Tyson Printmaker
Gill Tyson specialises in lithography, a printmaking process that combines direct and expressive mark making with deliberate and aforethought building of layers. Tyson trained at Edinburgh University and Edinburgh College of Art, where she graduated with an MA in Fine Art. In 2012 she was one of the artists representing Britain in The International Print Exhibition in Kyoto, Japan and in 2014 was Printmaker Of The Year at Printfest. She was a prizewinner at the Society Of Scottish Artists on 2018. She has undertaken a number of printmaking residencies in the UK and abroad.
Her work is in several public collections, including the Parliamentary Art Collection and The City Of Edinburgh. Gill lives between Edinburgh and Morvern, a remote peninsula on the West Coast of Scotland
