Jean
Hall was born and educated in Dundee and graduated from
Edinburgh College of Art in 1988. She spent fifteen
years teaching Art and Design in a College environment
before taking early retirement to paint full time. She
has exhibited widely in Scotland and in Amsterdam.
“I have a
lifelong interest in fabric, textiles and pattern, the
paintings based on both Japanese and Indian designs
are intended to create a sense of order and peaceful
simplicity. Even when the colours may be bright and
vibrant, the overall feeling is intended to be calm
and still, with space and order creating a feeling of
comtemplation. The combination of simplicity of line
and composition with sometimes extravagant colour and
pattern is one that will always provide inspiration
for me.”
