Blue Indian Tapestry by artist Marj Bond

Marj Bond RSW RGI

Born in Scotland in 1936, Marj Bond studied at Glasgow School of Art, 1955–60, taught by Alex Dick, David Donaldson, Mary Armour and Benno Schotz. She was a figurative painter, in the Scottish Colourist tradition, with strong poetic and symbolic elements. In 1988 Bond made a trip to India which opened up new visual channels and gave her the opportunity to work on handmade paper. In 1992 she took part in a summer sculpture workshop in Tuscany; 1993 brought journeys to Yucatan, Mexico, and Urbino in Italy; and in 1994 she had a painting residency at Annaghmakerrig, the Tyrone Guthrie Centre, in Ireland. Among her awards was the Anne Redpath Award, 1984; Crawford Arts Centre Special Award, St Andrews, 1987; and an English Speaking Union scholarship, 1994.
Marj died in 2023.
