Gillian Turnham graduated from NSCAD University as a fine metalsmith, creating miniature sculptural works in metal, wood, and stone. Her early work investigated elements of structure and embellishment through architectural miniature. Building on her interest in architectural ornamentation, her attention turned towards the complex geometric patterns of the Islamic tradition. Gillian’s paintings fuse classical geometry and illumination techniques with contemporary fine art practice. Alongside exhibitions and commissioned works, she is a regular teacher for the King’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts and has developed outreach initiatives to enhance awareness and understanding of traditional arts in the community.
