BIOGRAPHY |
Molly Bullick was born in
Northern Ireland and moved to Scotland to complete her Architectural Diploma at
Edinburgh College of Art. Several years
bringing up children curtailed her creative career, but a course in Drawing,
Painting and Printmaking at Edinburgh College of Art in 1977 started a
successful period Printmaking. She
exhibited in many countries around the world, was on the council of the
Printmakers Workshop, an elected Professional member and Council member of the
Society of Scottish Artists and an elected Professional member of the Scottish
Society of Women Artists.
Experimenting in metal
led to several years making jewellery with solo shows at the Scottish Gallery
Edinburgh, the Open Eye Gallery, Edinburgh, Aberdeen Art Gallery etc. She exhibited with Dazzle, Lesley Craze
Gallery and Electrum both in London.
Visits to India since
1998 led to the textile world, which now absorbs her totally. Workshops with
Joan Schulze, Yoshiko Wada and Dorothy Caldwell introduced Art Quilts. Art Quilts are relatively new to the UK art
world but times are changing. A recent
meeting with the Pojagi master Chunghie Lee has consolidated the wish to work
with textile and fibre.
