Maeve Dixon
Artist’s Statement
I grew up in Helensburgh, Argyll and now live and make art in Glasgow.
I enjoy working mainly in printmaking and in particular monoprinting. My subject matter at present is landscapes and buildings. Places that I have rediscovered since having a child. Where once I would have walked by now I stop and look a little bit closer and a little bit further with my son. I wish to celebrate buildings that maybe have had the beauty of their architecture overlooked. I’m interested in the fragility of specific sites and the traces left behind by industry and people. After a break from art for a number of years I am enjoying exploring my favourite medium again. I teach printmaking and work in arts and heritage as well as making prints on my kitchen table.
