Gill Tyson was born in 1956 in Lancashire and studied Fine Art at the Edinburgh College of Art, graduating in 1979. Based in Edinburgh, she is a painter and printmaker.
She says that “I hope there’s something in my pieces which humanises the experiences of being in a hospital. The images contain not stories, but triggers to arouse their interest and allow them to weave their own narrative.”
This work is currently on display at the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry (August 2025).
