Rachel Bride Ashton

I am a Scottish artist who established a reputation as a self-taught painter before returning to education and graduating with a first class honours degree in Fine Art from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art in Dundee and four prizes (see below). During my time at art school I have expanded my practice into performance, sculpture, sound, film and installation and writing, but still predominantly paint.
