Pauline graduated from Edinburgh College of Art where she studied drawing and painting, taught by Elizabeth Blackadder and John Houston. After a career in education, she is now working on her ceramic practice. Her inspiration comes from Dutch delftware and 18th century Sevres porcelain. Playful themes of women, their experiences and narratives are a current focus. After years of showing restraint and consideration in her communications as a deputy headteacher, she loves the freedom to say it like it is.
