Notes
Sam Ainsley is an artist and teacher and, until 2005, was Head of the MFA Programme at Glasgow School of Art (GSA). She has forged a remarkable career within the visual arts sector nationally and internationally. From 1985 to 1991 she taught on the Environmental Art programme at GSA before co-founding the Master of Fine Art course. Ainsley’s artwork is in a number of public and private collections nationally and internationally. She considers her work a form of 'emotional mapping' that tries to uncover correspondences and relationships between natural, (biological, geographic, geological) phenomena, the human body and the human condition.
