Biography

Ailsa Magnus graduated from Edinburgh College of Art in 1989. After completing postgraduate studies at Gray's School of Art, Robert Gordon's University, Aberdeen, she spent 4 years at the Scottish Sculpture Workshop. During this time she concentrated on exhibiting and building on her skills, and developing a portfolio of work. Ailsa moved to Selby in North Yorkshire in 1994, but has recently moved back to Fife in Scotland where she grew up.
Ailsa has established a solid reputation in public art. In addition to carved wood and stone sculptures, her public commissions across Northern England, London, Wales and Scotland have included carved brick relief walls, cast relief floor-scapes and decorative paving. Her most recent works have been cast in iron and bronze, both free-standing and ground based.
