Meet the Artist - Sue Jane Taylor - Tea, Talk and Tour

Sue Jane Taylor was born and brought up on the Black Isle in the Eastern Highlands of Scotland, where her ancestors have lived for centuries.

Well known as a contemporary visual documenter and interpreter of technology, engineering and people of the UK offshore energy sector, Sue Jane first studied at Gray’s School of Art, Aberdeen, Scotland. Then The Slade School of Fine Art London and Kungliga Konsthögskolan (The Royal Institute of Art), Stockholm, Sweden.

Over the years she has gained access to extremely remote and publicly prohibited offshore installations. In her work she raises questions about the relationship between art, environment and industry; developing my ideas about labour, industry and their retrospective place in the natural world. Now based near Dornoch she runs an etching studio: No 19 Cataibh studio with her partner, Australian artist Ian Westacott, and their two sons.
