Gillie Cawthorne
Gillie Cawthorne is an English artist who specializes in watercolor and pastel. She was born in Coxhoe, UK, and went to school at Durham University, Durham, UK. Since graduating with a degree in Geology from Durham University in 1985, Cawthorne has painted professionally in watercolor and soft pastel and has exhibited paintings in many solo and joint exhibitions across Great Britain. She had her first show in America exhibiting at Holland & Holland, New York, in 2003 and subsequently developed a great demand for her work in the United States as well. In 2011, she was commissioned by Durham University to paint the portrait of nationally renowned writer and Chancellor of Durham University Bill Bryson. Today, she continues to work from her studio in the Pennines, UK. "My work is very much based on my love of the natural world, and I am fascinated by the effects of light and atmosphere. I hope to pass on to viewers of my pictures, some of the enjoyment and wonder that I experience, particularly in nature, but also in magnificent buildings like Durham Cathedral."
