Originally trained in Design for the Theatre, Gill Dixon worked in costume production for the two London opera houses for many years.

Her textile work reflects this with a strong dramatic sense, trying to capture that feeling of anticipation when the curtain goes up at the start of the show.

Her recent work, 2D and 3D, currently explores ageing through the female experience, using theatrical ‘stock’ characters and demonised female archetypes to investigate the experience.
