Gill Tyson is an Edinburgh-based printmaker specialising in lithography, a process that allows for both expressive mark-making and the careful layering of image and tone. Working in a palette of cool, atmospheric colours, her prints explore remote and often abstracted landscapes, where traces of human presence are subtly implied.
She studied at Edinburgh College of Art and the University of Edinburgh, graduating with an MA (Hons) in Fine Art. Tyson is a former Chairman of Edinburgh Printmakers and has undertaken printmaking residencies across the UK and Europe.
Her work has been widely exhibited internationally, including representing Britain at the International Print Exhibition in Kyoto, Japan. She has received numerous awards, including Printmaker of the Year at Printfest, and her work is held in major public collections such as the Smithsonian Institution and the Parliamentary Art Collection, House of Lords.
