Four Women Artists

Edinburgh College of Art unites these four women artists, Elizabeth Blackadder graduated from the college in 1954 and was a dedicated teacher from 1962-1986. Victoria Crowe graduated from the Royal College of Art, London before being invited to teach drawing and painting at the college from 1968 until 1998. Elizabeth Blackadder and Victoria Crowe have each made a significant contribution to art and art education and they continue to be leading lights in their field, not for being women but by having an extraordinary vision and dedication to their art. Alison McGill and Emily Sutton are part of a younger generation who continue to fulfil their journey through art, and in very different ways represent an ongoing painting and graphic tradition
