Mary Ferguson

2001-2006    MA(Hons) Fine Art, University of Edinburgh and Edinburgh College of Art

Mary Ferguson is a visual artist living and working in Scotland.  Her practice is constantly evolving, but takes mainly the form of abstracted drawings and prints, where she seeks to describe the built and natural environment in which she lives, and animations that conjure whole new worlds.  Mary is fascinated by the possibilities of drawings on paper and seeks to explore this through her work.

Over the summer of 2007, Mary completed a four-month residency with the Highland Print Studio, where she worked with various community groups in Lochcarron to produce a number of short animated films .  She has been selected for the prestigious exhibition, Bloomberg's New Contemporaries, and is currently showing at Musa in Aberdeen.

Until this website is fully functional, please contact Mary if you are interested in her work or would like to find out more about animation workshops.
