About Gillian Ross- Kelsey
I was born in Grimsby, Lincolnshire and I am a member of the Lincolnshire Artist Society. I graduated from Camberwell Art School with a B.A. and later obtained an M.A. at Nottingham Trent University.
I have been through many stages in the many years of my painting career, following my own route from figurative works towards abstract minimalism, where I continued to explore colour, shape and texture, styles and ideas.
I like to feel directly involved in the use of paint, using brushes and rollers in these paintings. I believe in allowing the paintings ‘freedom to paint themselves’ and ‘elicit a sense of surprise in me’ as they express themselves. I take it as far as I can and feel that expresses my way forward.

“Her early art school training encouraged her to become fully engaged in the London Arts Scene which helped her to realise the importance of maintaining a broad skill base as well as a growing familiarity with the rapid art and design movements from the early 60’s onwards”.
Peter Moss: Principal & Vice Principal Lincoln School of Art (1980-1990)
