About Alice McMurrough

Studied Glasgow School of Art 1973-77

Awarded Post Graduate Studies 1977-78

Enjoyed varied career in education including art teacher in primary and secondary sectors, marker and moderator for Scottish Qualifications Authority and Cultural Coordinator in East Dunbartonshire.

Although painting throughout this period, in 2007 began painting ‘full time’.

Married to Neil Macdonald and together organise painting holidays in Scotland, Spain, France and Italy.

‘My artwork draws from memories of particular events and general influences: family legends, cultural myths and religious fables. I aim for an attention that children have for the world, before ritual and maturity strips life of its daily magic.

I paint the gap between innocence and experience using distortion, metaphor and symbolism, free form chronological time and precise place.’
