Artists

Gill Edwards

Gill creates colourful and uplifting mixed media paintings capturing a love of joyful mark making, pattern, colour, contemporary still life, and more recently figures.

A career in textile design, working commercially in high end fabric and wallcoverings design and manufacture, has honed Gill’s skills in the use of colour and design, and now as an early career artist she has exhibited and sold work internationally. Gill is already represented by two UK based galleries and had her first solo show in May 2022.
Working from a studio in the historic East Midlands town of Southwell she is inspired by the beauty of ceramics, patterned kilims, organic shadows, and flowers and loves to explore the combination of strong pattern with flat areas.

Gill’s recent Modern Muse series has been created as a celebration of the female form and the bond between mother and daughter. She recognises that during her months of breast cancer treatment her relationship with her daughters changed as she was no longer the one who organised everything and made all the plans. It was a pivotal moment in the mother-daughter relationship.
