Ellen McCann

I was born and brought up in rural Aberdeenshire. This has provided me with strong interest and belonging to the countryside.  I studied sculpture at Gray’s School of Art and continued my practice as a visual artist throughout a teaching career.
I have a studio in Elsrickle near Biggar with a rural outlook and inspiration comes from the garden and landscape.
