Aine Scannell

I was born in Saint Marys Hospital, Paddington, London and was raised and schooled in Southern Ireland. On graduating the Ursuline High School. Cork Ireland - I moved to Brussels Belgium where I lived and worked for a few years and travelled to other countries in Europe.
During the time I lived in London I decided that I would go to University and study Art. I undertook a course called a "Combined Studies" degree. I studied Education, Maths history, Art History and finally settled into studio based creative art.
It became clear to me, that creating my own artwork was what was most important to me. That fine art studio practice was, in the main, focussed on painting. My work was figurative with undertones of myth, religion and literature.

I somewhat surprised myself by moving to Scotland in 2007. I have always loved looking at and making art and undertook formal studies at various institutions including, University of Middlesex, Goldsmiths College, University of London, Winchester School of Art, Barcelona Spain and Wimbledon College of Art, University of the Arts, London UK

My 2nd Masters degree was in Printmaking at Wimbledon school of Art, University of the Arts, London - I finished there in 2000.
