| About the artist |
Born in Farnborough, Kent in 1955; Gill taught for many years and now has a studio in South East London where she takes part in local annual open studio events. Gill Hickman creates photo works, embossed prints and textured surfaces on canvas, often including gold leaf, to express her ideas and feelings about life. Her work draws from patterns, layers and textures in the environment and in life - she views life as a journey of discovery, in which layers are gradually peeled away to reveal underlying lessons and truths. Gill was diagnosed HIV positive in 1989 and is fortunate to have been extremely healthy for the past 18 years, without drugs, so the Happy Cells paintings are particularly significant for her. Gill believes that art, meditation and visualization are ways to deeper health. Gill has been involved with the artist-run Skylark Galleries at the South Bank since 1998, and as director since 1999.
