Born in Norfolk, Gilly has lived and painted in East Anglia for most of her life, now dividing her time between Norwich and Berkshire.  The work draws inspiration from shorelines and river valleys and, more recently, the post-industrial buildings and riverbanks of the city.  She works in oils, acrylics,  watercolours and ink, from nature and imagination.

 

Having studied Fine Art and Art History at UCS, Chelmer Institute and the Ecole du Louvre, Gilly has exhibited at the Ferini Gallery in Lowestoft and has taken part in Suffolk Open Studios and Black Dog Arts exhibitions.  ‘Earth and Water’, a collaborative exhibition at the Fisher Theatre Gallery with ceramicist Martin Dickens, was held in March 2017.  Later ventures include illustrating the children's book, 'Pueo' and album designs for the British Arts Council project, 'Kolar's Gold'.

The solo exhibition, 'Trajectories', was held at the Anteros Gallery, Norwich, in September 2020.  

 

'A Sense of Place', an exhibition of the latest paintings, was held at the Old Court Artspace, St Leonard's Road, Windsor, during December 2023.
