Ramsay Gillies

Ramsay was born and raised in Edinburgh and attended Edinburgh College of Art, studying graphic design, life drawing and sculpture. He spent his working years as a graphic designer in Scotland, Bermuda, New York, Boston, London; coming home to Edinburgh in the mid seventies.

He returned to sculpture around five years ago with a simple resolve to avoid repetition and keep it quirky. Each piece is unique, inspired by antique folk art weathervanes and decoys, fashioned mainly in wood or metal with interesting aged finishes, such as copper verdigris.
