About Gillian McConnell
An interdisciplinary artist, Gillian is fascinated by the illusion of dichotomy, the presence of multiplicity and the truth of paradox—in politics, society, nature and people. She employs visual metaphor to create beautiful work that is also intellectually stimulating, emotionally moving, playfully provocative and spiritually uplifting.

Gillian attained a BFA Hons (major in printmaking and minor in art history) from Queens’s University at Kingston in 1980.  She has also studied textile, fashion and graphic design.  An award-winning artist, she has staged and curated numerous exhibitions.  Gillian has been teaching art since 2004.
